RE: Adnoid/tonsil removal - forgot to mention

[Guest guest]

I wrote down all of Ambers vitamins and med. for the OR crew and doctors. I was told that Gingko is a blood thinner also. I did not know that. Just an FYI for anyone that does not know.

It is pretty painful after surgery.

Amber is on pain medicine. And we were told by the doctor today to keep her on it til the weekend. She is a the stage were the scabs will be falling off. And is painful. I can tell when her pain medicine wears off. Or is close to it. But she is sleeping alot better. Not waking up and sitting up . I did not wake her last night for pain medicine and she sleep soundly. Very nice to see. Carol P.Kathy Ratkiewicz <Kathy_Rcomcast (DOT) net> wrote: Danny is 9 ½ and still has his tonsils and adenoids. No snoring, no problems.

ALL kids with DS to have one while young. Our ENT didn't want to rush into removing them due to the speech issue as well.

Sophia is 7 and has not yet had to have her tonsils or adenoids out. I am curious if everyone has already had this surgery? For awhile it seemed we were headed in this direction because of her snoring but as she has aged, she has outgrown it. My ENT told me that the adenoids start shrinking around this age. What is the number one reason kids with DS usually have tonsils/adenoids removed? He also told me adenoid removal can affect speech due to hypernasality. I didn't want to take any steps backward in the speech arena either.Mom to Mira, 9, and Sophia, 7, with
