In an earlier post I mentioned that, as babies, my siblings and I were often sick. My sister and I both had serious ear infections and developed hearing problems because of them.
During my childhood, I was hospitalized at least a half-dozen times: pneumonia, tonsillectomy, mastoidectomy (both sides), and other ear surgeries.
