Hi EVERYONE,

[Guest guest]

In our experience with bloodwork, it takes 5

minutes to do a CBC and platelets because it's done here

at the hospital. It takes ~7 days for PCR because it

is sent off. It takes ~ 10 days for genotype because

it is also sent off. The lab people here are very

nice about telling us how long it will take to get

results so we're not just sitting around wondering. They

also call us when the results are ready for us to come

pick up, but there have been times that the results

have come in and we weren't called because the left

hand didn't know what the right hand was doing as far

as different people in the lab. Is there someone in

particular you could talk to each time so you won't get a

run-around?<br><br>Is your husband doing treatment at this time? Our

son (16 yr old w/hep C) on combo has no energy, which

is so unusual for him. Our 18 yr old son (hep B &

C)isn't doing any treatment but he sleeps a lot more this

summer than he has in the past. That may just be a

college kid/no job thing though.<br><br>Hang in there,

things may not change, but hopefully you'll feel better!

Depends on the tests you have done, some, you can

get the results back in 3 days (CBC or whatever it's

called) others, like the hep tests, may take longer. I

know 10 years ago, when I got retested after finding

out from donating blood, it took 2 weeks to get

results back on the antibody test.<br><br>Call and ask

Tina,

I use Dr Janet's Glucasamine cream. I use just a little

bit and it works great. If a muscle aches really bad I

rub it in and get pretty quick relief. The pain never

goes away completely but this helps.

I have found that Dr Janet's glucasamine cream is the best.

God bless,

Althea

Thank you!

We are in Minnesota.

Kendra will be implanted at the University of Minnesota Fairview Center.

I am so excited for her implant (and VERY nervous about the surgery ;o)

Re: Hi Everyone,

--- Hi ,

Nucleus made by the Cochlear Americas group has more than one

style of implant. So if a regular self curling array won't work,

they have a double array that can be used. The Dr. will do MRIs and

CT scans prior to surgery so he or she knows what the cochlea area

looks like.

Don't know if Modini is hereditary. A genetic counselor could

probably help you with that.

What implant center are you using?

Welcome to . I think there is also a CI group for

parents, and they might have the information you need about Modini

and heredity. Alice, our list owner, can tell you about that.

Hi Everyone

My name is , my daughter Kendra is three months old, she has

a profound hearing loss in both ears.

We are in the process of getting approval for an implant. We are

hoping to have her implanted at 7 months,

pending insurance approval.

Kendra has LVAS and a mild case of Mondini.

Does anyone have similar cuases of hearing loss?

Will the implant still work with her Mondini - I am so worried the

implant will not go in all the way... ?

Are these causes genetic? Do we need to worry about future

children?

Kendra is our first.

This is all so new and scary.

Any help/advice/ support is appreciated.

Thank you!!!
