Guest guest Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Hello all, It has been a long time since my last post. I ck posting every few weeks. Jane had a toncilectomy and adnoidectomy Nov. 19th, She is recovering well, lots of pain but NO FEVER! Yesterday was her 5th birthday and we celebrated with ice cream cake, the easist food to go down. She did well with cimetidine for over a year with only about 6 fever episodes but the dose had to be increased to 1 teaspoon 2 times a day and her toncills were not going back to normal after the episodes so we opped for a ENT consult. He did not know anything about and did not really care. He cared that she should not live with Toncills so enlarged and pitted he also recamended adnoids. It was a good thing, he said when he got in there they were as big as her toncills! We are praying for " the fevers " to be in our history books! I appreiate this group, I don't know what i would have done without you especially in the begining 1 1/2 years ago. God Bless all of the children (and mom's and dad's) I hope this post give some of you comfort on this day of Thanksgiving!

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Lorraine, I am glad to hear Jane is doing better. I remember you because I think we joined the group at the same time. Drew had his tonsils out in Sept wiht a difficult recovery, and has had 2 fever episodes since. He's due now- has sores in his mouth and a hoarse voice but no fever. He doesnt seem as bothered by the sores as he was in the past- still eating ok- but I know they do bother him at times,maybe he's just used to it. We have a perscription for cimetidine (finally- I requested before the tonsillectomy but without success). I am glad to hear it worked for you- does Jane ever get sores? If so, did you notice any difference with cimetidine? The doctor thinks we should try it now, even if he's not fevering as much, because he's cycling with sores every 2 weeks. Good luck with the recovery! mom to Drew, age 3 tomorrow town RI > > Hello all, > It has been a long time since my last post. I ck posting every few > weeks.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 , Jane had minor sores and they never bothered her. The cimetidine was good , it minimized her episodes - less often and less severe. Her main symptoms were fever and lymph node pain under her arms and in her neck, groin and knees. Her regular voice has not returned to normal, how long does that take? She sounds like mini mouse! Good luck with cimitidine.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 It did take at least a month to 6 weeks for his voice to return to normal. He's always had a pretty raspy voice for a toddler, but right after his tonsils were out it sounded like he had a mouthful of marbles! > > > > > > Hello all, > > > It has been a long time since my last post.
