www.earsurgery.com

Hi Leanne - welcome to the group! I am new here also so I have no advice to offer I just wanted to say hello :-) My name is Sandy and my husband and I are adopting a baby from Korea who has unilateral microtia of her right ear. She is only five months old and she is not home yet - she will be home in March or April so we have not even gotten started with doctors, etc. We live in Nashville. Best of luck with your upcoming decisions

Sandy

what type of engineering do you do by the way? My husband is a civil/structural engineer

Hi my name is Leanne and I was thrilled to find this group. My son will be 5 in March and has both Atresia and Microtia of his right ear

Sandy,

Thanks for the welcome and congrats on your adoption. I hope all goes

well with your daughter.

By the way, I'm an Industrial Engineer and I focus totally on safety

issues.

OOPS! I am resending this as I just realized that I sent it to the MSN

address instead of the Yahoo address!!! Me bad!! Got to get that out

of my address book NOW!!!.

Welcome Leanne!!

Sorry that I have been so busy lately and have not been the usual " big

mouth " on here that everyone knows (and loves I hope! HAHA). But I just

HAD to respond to Leanne's message.

" Nate's current doctor seems to think that the artificial ear attached

to the bone with a couple pins is the best way to go. "

Leanne....NOT!!! You sound like you already know that this in not the

way to go and congrats..YOU'RE RIGHT!!. Your doctor seems to be

uninformed, not that I blame him really, I doubt they see many of these

kinds of cases in their lifetime. However, this is NOT the usual way to

go for children. There are SO many reason why that I hesitate to even

get into them. Since your doctor is unable to guide you in the right

direction, you made a wise decision to join this group. There are many

people here who have investigated doctors all over the country. You

should start by visiting Dr. Brent's web site and also Dr. Romo's web

site. Dr. Romo's addy is www.earreconstruction.com and you will find

Dr. Brent's on the links page in our Yahoo group home page (or

Jack..type it in here!!).

I have a 9 year old son, Evan, who has bilateral microtia and atresia.

He has had one ear reconstructed using the polyethylene implant, done by

Dr. Romo in New York. In MY opinion, Dr. Romo is the best plastic

reconstructive surgeon doing implants at this time. It is an up and

coming surgery and I'm sure several doctors are now learning it.

However, Dr. Romo is the pioneer of this method and I can only recommend

him as I only have experience with him. Surgery can be started before

age 5 so Nate is ready to go anytime. What you need to do first is

familiarize yourself with the two techniques that are used on children

today, the polyethylene implant and the rib graft. Then you can make a

more informed decision as to which doctor you would like to use. Having

said that, if you have ANY questions about the polyethylene implant,

please ask me. I am more than willing to share any info that I have on

this subject (and I have ALOT!!). Others can fill you in on the rib

graft method.

Please do not waste your time looking into the prosthetic ear. I

personally have done research into this method and I can tell you that

it would only be used as a last resort for a child. There are two MUCH

better ways to go!.

I also have alot of experience with insurance companies and MIGHT be

able to give you some insight as to how to go about getting coverage out

of state. There are others on board that can do the same. But that is

secondary right now. You need to find out as much as possible about the

two methods of reconstruction first!!.

Hope I helped somewhat!

Hi Leanne,

Welcome to the group.. you've found a really great group of people! I'm , I am a 40 year old that has unilateral microtia/atresia.

I recently completed the second stage of reconstructive surgery using the polyethelene implant.

My Dr.is Dr.Barry L. Eppley in Indianapolis, IN. He is very experienced in microtia repair in children using rib graft. I was his first implant patient (and I think his oldest microtia patient).

I agree with Lynne on the prosthetic (snap on) ear...that is really not a first choice especially for a child. Matter-of-fact Dr. Eppley told me that he wouldn't really recommend it for me unless I was an older patient (maybe 60's) and really wanted a quick fix .

Anyway, I do have a web page that shows my surgery step by step (from start to finish). The others on the list have viewed it and are probably tired of hearing about it...LOL.. but if you would like to see it here it is .... www.geocities.com/surfsup62/surgery.html some of the photos are graphic (taken by my surgeon during surgery).

Well, as I said at the beginning you have found a really great group of people who will offer you great advice and support..I know that for sure..they've been beside me every step of the way!

Welcome.....

Hi my name is Leanne and I was thrilled to find this group. My son will be 5 in March and has both Atresia and Microtia of his right ear. He is a wonderful boy and has no significant hearing problems. He is just beginning to ask questions about his right ear - Why it is smaller - but he doesn't seem to really be affected by it otherwise. We are starting to look for doctors to handle his surgery and to determine what age will be appropriate. Our doctor here in Cleveland has been very good about testing him and explaining the situation, but I feel we need to meet with a few doctors to make sure that we select the best we can. Nate's current doctor seems to think that the artificial ear attached to the bone with a couple pins is the best way to go. Personally, I'd rather he did nothing than have an artificial ear, but all this surgery to do reconstruction doesn't sound like the safest choice either. I would love to hear from anyone who has had the surgery done and how you chose your doctor. I have heard of Dr. Eavey in Boston, and I have seen a number of doctors on the internet, but I can't just blindly select someone. Also, I have an insurance question. Does anyone know what happens to coverage if you have a doctor in your area that may be capable of performing the surgery, but you select someone out of state because of their expertise in the area?Thank you for your help,Leanne

Hi Leanne,

My name is mother of Trishe who is now 9 yrs

old. She has microtia/atresia of the right ear. I

noticed that you mentioned Dr Eavey from

Boston. That is who we see with Trisha.

We are very pleased with him. He is open and discusses

all possible options. Every time we had questions for

him he was always more than happy to answer our

questions.

If you'd like more information about the procedures

that have been done I " d be more than happy to share

that information with you either by email or phone

conversation if you wish. Just let me know.

best wishes

julie

Hi Carol, nice to meet you.

I'm in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I grew up in Ottawa and my parents and

siblings are still there. I've also been east, in fact, my first two

were born in Prince Island. My youngest (19) was born here in

Manitoba.

I have yet to be diagnosed ... I'm just educating myself these days.

I've been suffering for years but dealt with it with anti-histamines

which is what I was first given. I ended up in the hospital near the

beginning because my face swelled up and they had to give me IV anti-

histamine but no cause was ever determined. The past year it has

begun to happen more often. I started reading up on it through the

internet because it seems to happen at times when an allergy reaction

can be ruled out.

Lately, it's as soon as I get out of bed in the morning so I've begun

to think it must be temperature related. It also flares up each

morning in the shower - again a temperature change.

I do have some allergies so I am going for the whole series of tests

to rule out the obvious but after that, I think I'm going to be left

with the whole no cause thing. But, at least now, I know I'm not

alone in my suffering.

Thanks for the welcome . I keep looking for groups that will

be helpful because it's keeps me concentrating on something besides

the itch. Right now, the whole left side of my face is in welts and

very very hot. Of course, it will pass, if I can just keep my hands

away. So typing helps.

Hi ,

Welcome and glad you have found us. Sorry to hear you've had these things

for so long. It's great to see your kids enjoyed being able to play games

" on " you! Are yo on any meds for your hives? The Zyrtec/Zantac combo seems

to be the choice of meds, but there are tons of others that work well for

many people. Take care and good luck! Ann

Solomon has me exercising quite a bit now that he is blind as we take

3 walks a day, sometimes 2 1.5 miles ones and shorter one, plus he has

mid-day quick break which doesn't count as exercise. They are the

highlights of his day and are now becoming the highlights of mine :)

If I don't do any other exercise, I do walk him. As I said, we have a

lot of recipes and ideas on our site...it shouldn't get boring! It is

just those first two weeks that are hard, and then the sugar is out of

your body and you are on your way!

Will someone remind me of the supplement that is supposed to be an appetite suppressant?

Thanks,

Please welcome (softwinterwhispers) from my Cocker Spaniel list to our list :) She is an Atkins veteran in the same boat as lots of us...put some weight back on after losing it.

Glad to see you here, ...please go check out our Yahoo site files as we have a lot of interesting things there. Also, welcome to K9Dodo who sounds like a doggy person too :)

, low carbing helps depression too because your blood sugar quits spiking...I don't know the scientific stuff, but tis true :) Solomon has me exercising quite a bit now that he is blind as we take 3 walks a day, sometimes 2 1.5 miles ones and shorter one, plus he has mid-day quick break which doesn't count as exercise. They are the highlights of his day and are now becoming the highlights of mine :) If I don't do any other exercise, I do walk him. As I said, we have a lot of recipes and ideas on our site...it shouldn't get boring! It is just those first two weeks that are hard, and then the sugar is out of your body and you are on your way!
