Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Oooops! I'm all booked up for PM's and AM's are closing fast. Alice on the road to south GA. Change of route. No Nashville. Now in Alabama headed for Birmingham and then Atlanta. Trees and beautiful scenery everywhere. What a beautiful country. Yes we are blessed to get up each day. --nmgram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi, Alice, All the very best to you that your surgery goes well and recovery is uneventful. Rather than " spit " your own words back at you, please see files and read your own words of warning to REST! LOL Hope this is finally " the answer " ! ) Jackie Implanted - right ear - Oct.2002 - Nucleus 24/3G Reimplanted - right ear - Jan.2005 - Nucleus 24C/3G Implanted - left ear - Sept.2005 - Nucleus-Freedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Thanks, Jackie. Your message is greatly appreciated. I'm to be at the hospital at 6AM for the 7:30 surgery so it looks like I'm going to be the first one of the day.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Thinking of you Alice! You've always been there for the rest of us so I'm sure that the thoughts and good wishes from everyone on this list will carry you through this with great positive results!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Alice , You must be overwhelmed with good wishes. I hope your surgeon has a good night's sleep and will have steady hands. Being at the hospital for 6am is way too early but I don't imagine you will be getting much sleep anyways. God's spell ! Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Alice: So you've gone under the knife in New England, New Mexico and now the South. I hope the South is the best of the batch so you don't go to the Midwest. Hal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hi, Alice, Wow, you post promptly! You are an excellent role model! <smiles> Prayers will continue here for you that surgery caused swelling and on hook-up day the Freedom jumps into action! In the meantime, remember to practice what you preach and use your recliner and REST, REST, REST! Hope it is an uneventful recovery! ) Jackie Implanted - right ear - Oct.2002 - Nucleus 24/3G Reimplanted - right ear - Jan.2005 - Nucleus 24C/3G Implanted - left ear - Sept.2005 - Nucleus-Freedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Missy, thanks so much for the words of support. It has been a rough road and we're doing our best to make good decisions for the short AND long term. Not always easy to do, that's for sure. I do think I've decided that we will do what we can to preserve the hearing and structure of our son's ear until he's old enough to make his own decisions about this. I'm hoping this gamble works to his advantage -- finally no recurrences, and a preserved/normal ear to boot! Only time will tell. I'm certain that if the surgeon (Dr. Eavey) thought the best way to go was a wall down, he would be frank with us about that. So far, he still thinks that being conservative is the best approach. I'm happy we're in agreement on that. :-) > > > > > > Hi all, > > > My daughter, Abby, is 13. She had her first surgery at 10. > Each > > > year CAT scan shows new growth and she goes thru it again.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Hi, Alice, Your posts and the weather channel are keeping us abreast of your white plight!

Prayers for a health and happiness. Thanks so much for providing so much to so many in the form of this forum and all the other ways in which you give. ) Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Alice: Wow, that is good to know. Thankfully, he's been on the regular dose for some time so we haven't used the insulin syringes in a few years. I'm so glad that you shared this with the group. and Rob 17 SPondy Hi Donna, Just another comment on the Enbrel, it really is not a bad drug to take. We had a 3 yr old on it for a while and injections aren't bad at all, besides the fact that it works well, we did not need an nsaid with it. I did just want to comment on the needle size. We use doctors out of CHLA, where the conducted some of the trials. When they realized we had been using the insulin syringes (as prescribed by another doctor) they had us switch to a larger gauge needle (I don't recall exact size and it didn't seem to impact the injection for my child). They said the particle size of the Enbrel is a bit too large for the insulin syringes and it can often break open the molecules upon injection and impair the function of the medication. Thought I'd pass that along for you to clarify with your doctor. Hope you find something that works! Alice (dagny, 7, poly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
