I manage, but I am gagging the entire time.

Hi Rogena, I'm glad it went well and that it's over with. For the record, I would like to say that I am so thankful for Versed!!! Bri has had so many surgeries, he would never go back to the hospital if he could remember everything. I just wanted to tell you of my experience--Bri has had four sets of ear tubes. With two or three of those, Bri has had infections a week after surgery. I'm not saying it will happen, but just keep an eye on the possibility.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Sandi: We had a problem with that the last time Cole had tubes also. I am a keeping an especially close eye on the right ear since that one has the paper patch and I can't put the antibiotic drops in it. The ENT did increase his daily dose of Amoxicillin by quite a bit to help counteract any potential problems. -Rogena (Mom to 4 boys, including Cole -IgA & IgG Subclass Def, GERD, possible Celiac) " I just wanted to tell you of my experience--Bri has had four sets of ear tubes.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hello Everyone, Just wanted to update you on Cole's progress. If you remeber. Cole's cast broke 6 weeks ago. The docs decided to leave his cast ofinstead of putting a new one on since we were scheduled for a beach vacation and he was going to have in removed for that anyways. I was so nervous as to what setback that may have for Cole, but we went along with the plan. As the weeks went on I found myself obsessing at looking at Cole's back. I thought it looked great, but had just convinced myself that the x-rays would tell otherwise. Well, we had a pleasant surprise in Erie yesterday. His back held, unassisted at 12 degrees out of cast for 5 1/2 weeks! I was shocked! They applied a new cast. In cast he is at 5 degrees, RVAD is irrelavant at this point. While he was under anesthesia, he was molded for a brace. He is going to be in this cast for only 4 weeks, and then into the brace for the next phase of this process. I let Dr. Kishan know that I wanted to be on the VERY conservative side in regards to Cole treatment, and that I had no problem keeping the cast on longer and even applying another cast, but he insisted it was not necessary, and that Cole was ready for a brace. So, we are so happy for Cole and are ready for the next step. I'll continue to keep you all posted. Your families and kids are always in our thoughts. /Cole PS, Dr. Mehta said last fall that Cole would be in a cast for about 11 months, and by the time the cast comes off, it will be 11 months. She is amazing and knows her stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Wow Michell, that's so amazing!! Especially about Mehta's quote on time! Well I remember you guys were approaching this point when we met if I'm not mistaken? SO wonderful! And the amount of time it held is so encouraging I know.. I'm so happy for you guys & Cole, he's such a cutie pie! Congratulations on this milestone for him, I look forward see his this play out now in a brace! I'm hoping Sol's back doesn't measure any higher once we go for her brace on Tues., and I hope they can get her down like that too, cross your fingers for us! Take care & best wishes from us here.. -Joy,(my husband & Solana too > > Hello Everyone, > Just wanted to update you on Cole's progress. If you remeber. Cole's > cast broke 6 weeks ago.
