Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi all, will be having her tonsils and adenoids out March 1st, her adenoids are large and the ENT seems to think it will help her mouth breathing and restless nights. She will be getting her ear tubes put back in as well. So, does anyone have experience in the T & A procedure? I have been through tubes, and her heart surgery, but not at age 3. She was much younger. Now, she's older, does not eat much, and will only sometimes drink from a bottle-straw. We're playing phone tag with the ENT to tell him all this, but I was just curious as to what everyone else has gone through? 12-24-02 ds/autism? 6-3-05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi ~ Dylan was about 3 1/2 for his tonsilectomy & 5 when he has his adnoidectomy. Dylan was is still is a very picky eater & what I did was take some of our own things that we knew we could get him to eat to the hospital, as well as his favorite sippy cup. We stayed over night....maybe even two, I can't remember anymore. It's good they are doing it all at once...I feel bad Dylan's wasn't done that was & we had to put him through 2 surgeries. Make sure to take her favorite videos....or DVD's. That was a big help to us too. They usually have a good collection there at the hospital, but Dylan always would be stuck on 1 or 2 at a time. Good luck & let us know how it goes!
