While he was nder, the surgeon came out and recommended that we take 
his tonsils out oo, they were enormous; this was done.

This was also the case with my daughter when she had her grommettes 
inserted, and had adenoids and HUGE tonsils removed (which helped her 
breathing and other aspects as well  - I hope this is also the case 
for your son). Amanda  - I am pleased to hear the surgery went well, 
although you are right about your poor boy having terrible luck. I am 
lucky that my daughter's hearing and speech problems were identified 
early  - only because she has a genetic defect syndrome and was more 
thoroughly evaluated - and because she has a highly assertive mother 
who is a demanding consumer of medical services! She too had no 
symptoms of the fluid in her ear either. I wish I could offer 
practical help with the speech development issue - I could only 
recount my own laborious efforts over several years which have borne 
fruit, but I have no professional background in this field. I wish 
you all the best with your son in this, and am sure you will achieve 
success,
