Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Kirsty, Tell I said hi - I missed her last time we were at clinic as she was at the conference. That's a real pain about the penicillin and I hope they are wrong. Connor seems to have asthma. He was exactly the same with wheezing. They wont formally diagnosed asthma until 12months as it could just be restricted airways which fix as the baby grows. And they dont recommend any medication until 6months as before then it can have a reverse effect (this is what I was told). So at six months Connor went on to ventolin and after a month of that working as a reliever but not getting rid of the wheeze, he started on Intal Forte. Last visit he was still using Ventolin daily to control the wheezing (they only like that to be used on a need basis and not daily) and so he is now on a steroid until winter is over. But we often forget to give it and his wheezing seems to be under control. Connor hasn't had a bronch. When he was infor IV's a few months ago Dr MArtin was overseas and he's the only one who does them. I'm glad it wasn't done in a way as I dont want bad news of anything growing in his lungs. I have to say that it was very scary when Connor went under the anesthetic. I know it was for the best as then he wouldn't feel the PICC line going in but it was awful. I'm not looking forward to it again as I dont think it will get any easier. At least will come out of recovery and you'll be able to take him home. Are they doing a bronch because he's got a cough and not getting better? Good luck if I dont talk to you before Friday...... Kristy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Kristy, The bronc. will get easier if you ask for Medazalin (sp?). It makes them very relaxed and they dont fight. Also they dont remember anything afterwards. We ALWAYS get it for Eilish once someone put me onto it.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 What is Medazilin (sp)?? Is that what makes them fall asleep? Connor had to breath in something which sent him off to laa laa land before they anethetised him. It all seems so long ago and unreal now - like it was a bad dream. Kristy PS I passed my Manicure and Pedicure with Distinctions so I'm pretty happy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 Kristy, Its medicine stuff, looks like panadol, then it makes them groggy and then they gas them to sleep.
