Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Dear group members, It was before three weeks or so , I asked experiences of families about tonsillectomy. I got pretty good replies. I would like to thank you first of all. Our daughter, Sude, 3 ½ years old, had the surgery on 29th of December 2006. It was a successfull surgery. If she hadn't got the surgery she would have got fever on 6th of Jan. 2007 but she didn't get fever. Now she is very well and totally recovered. We hope and expect to have fevers only due to cold or so, not periodic fevers. I wanted to inform you. Gokhan Akcam, From Turkey, Istanbul.

Everything went really well - better than I ever thought. Children's Hospital Boston was very busy Monday so her 11:15 surgery didn't actually get started until about 1:00. She was done in less than an hour but the recovery room was too crowded to accept patients from the OR so she basically recovered in the OR. I was able to go in to see her about 2:30 and found her sitting up in bed actually chatting with the nurses! I couldn't believe that she could talk - I didn't think it was possible! Instead of spending the night in the hospital (which would have been in the recovery room as there were no beds) we headed home Monday night and she spent the night in her own bed! I figured even with waking her up in the middle of the night to give her the pain medicine, she probably slept better at home. Since then she's been doing really well - eating lots of ice cream and drinking lots of water. She's even decided that jello is pretty good. Thanks to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers. I'll keep you posted on her recovery as it goes on. Armstrong Mom to tonsil-free (10 1/2) and Alec (14) Mansfield, MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
