Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Hi everyone. I hope everyone is enjoying the season. I know it's been crazy busy around here. My daugher Shye had to have emergency surgery the fri before x-mas. Yea like I wasn't far enough behind on shopping...hehehe She has recovered very nicely. Anyways here's my question. Coby is on Periactin now and has to have surgery at the first of the year. Wehn do I stop the periactin and when do I restart it? Any thoughts on this would be appriciated. Thanks and take carfe all. le, mom to: ShyeLynn 9, Brock 7, and Coby(rss) & Carlee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Hi le, When had surgery, we never really stopped the periactin. While he was not allowed to eat, of course he didn't get it, but we did re- start immediately. Good luck, Judith, Steve, (RSS) and (non RSS) 3 yr 10 mo twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 le, We had the same experience . He has had 5 surgeries since starting periactin. We gave him periactin on schedule, other than when he was not allowed to eat. For Jake this was only the morning of surgery. He did have an IV, due to hypoglycemia. I would however, discuss this with the surgeon and anesthiologist (sic?). Best of luck, Alison > Hi le, > > When had surgery, we never really stopped the periactin.
