To answer your question about the tubes, 5 months is ususally the youngest age they put tubes in. If he is keeping the thick fluid in his ears and medications aren't helping, tubes are the way to go. It will save you and him alot of sleepless nights. We have a friend in Dothan whose son had them at 5 months old because of chronic problems since birth. He still gets ear infections every once in awhile but the tubes have improved it greatly. We are on our 2nd set with Brooks. He got his first set at 12 months, and they fell out by at around 22 months. As soon as they were out, he started getting sick again. When the tubes are in and functioning, he hasn't gotten any ear infections. Some kids are just prone to get them from the beginning. If the fluid has been in there since birth, tubes are totally worth it.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
