Sorry, this post ended up being really long, but it has most of the information in one place. I cannot find where they initially mentioned the ear infection before Christmas. I do remember them talking about it a couple of times, but their videos are so poorly labeled, it's tough. This is a good timeline though.
On January 18th, they make the trek to Winter Garden for the supposed specialist about his ears. That is called A Hot Dog Date in Winter Garden. This is also the ridiculous book store haul vid. The doctor told them he does need ear tubes and apparently you don't have to wear ear plugs while swimming anymore. (I really think this is when the doctor said--ok, one more ear infection and we'll do the tubes and they just ran with it)
J$ hearing test is in the 2/14 home vlog called "Baby's Almost Walking On His Own" which, is hilarious because he know he wasn't actually almost walking. Before J$ gets the tubes, they have to do a hearing test to show there are no other underlying issues. Here's where she said that his "chronic" ear infections are affecting his hearing. And the audiologist was contacting the ENT to start the tube process. On February 14th.
I think Tim tells us everything we have to know in the 2/19 podcast, which was probably recorded on 2/16. He's had an ear infection "since October", he's been on "every form of antibiotics", the doctor was calling "today or tomorrow" to schedule the ear tubes. He talked about the hearing test and how much his hearing is affected by this infection. This was February. Today is April 29th. So it's pretty much May.
This makes absolutely no sense to me as no reputable health care provider would allow a child whose hearing has been affected so greatly by ear infections to wait 3 months for ear tubes. Zero sense. There is so much more to this story and they are giving the stans the pieces that will garner the most sympathy and comments.
Then I'll add what

Ok, so I don’t think Jenn ever did say how long the waitlist was specifically. She just said “months and months” away.
Found it on the February 26 Live…

Ent told her that they are so quick, they usually squeeze them in pretty soon….
Makes no sense.
