Re: RE: Tonsillectomy, etc.

[Guest guest]

One of the rounding docs told me the morning after 's T & A

surgery, after hearing about 's refusal to eat/drink, told me

that her son (non-DS) refused to eat/drink and ended up being

hospitilized for 4 days :-) She assured me this wasn't the norm, but

that there were occasional kids who were (most commonly) stubborn, or

had (more rarely) complications that caused a stay of longer than 1

night. Her son was one of the stubborn ones, but he wasn't discharged,

even to an MD mommy, until he ate/drank.

Hope Noah is one of the easy ones!

the insurance companies will allow. I do feel like this dr. will take good care

of my son though as she seems quite knowledgeable and did a good job of

explaining why my son needs all of this done now. She took the time to explain

how the fluids flow through the ear canal and why his keep getting blocked, etc.

because this is a child who is almost always on some type of antibiotics because

of all the infections he always has... being sick with infections also keeps him

off of his arthritis meds and it's a vicious circle. His nose is constantly

running all the time all day, even during the summer.... it's awful.... I'm so

hoping this helps him out. I believe it will too, but we just have to get him

through it.
