Levi got tubes in the end of January, when he was only 10 months old, and it was the best decision I have made yet as a parent. He has had no ear infections since- where as before he was getting them every few weeks. He has had a few minor colds, but they did NOT go to his ears as before.
The surgery itself was only 10 minutes long. I wont lie- having to hold him while they put the mask on him to knock him out made me cry. But by the time I sat down to wait, it was already done. Expect him to cry immediately following the surgery and to be cranky a few hours after. Once Levi fell asleep, he woke up completely happy and normal. I just had to put drops in his ears for 5 days. The tubes are still in as far as I know. You go for a recheck every 3 months.
Good luck and he will be fine!
