Re: One month fever free!!!

[Guest guest]

I hope soon you can celebrate 1 year!

we wanted him to have the best

opportunity in school socially and academically. The one good thing

about my son having is his special education teacher at school

just had her son diagnosed with after I provided her with the

information on my son. After getting that information it allowed her

to address her own sons medical needs accurately. My son is so good

at doing for others, it's no surprise his own would help

another young child. I feel so blessed to have this group to go to.

I like how everyone is in different stages of this, but regardless if

it was 20 years ago or now, it's nice to hear everyones posts and

stories. This feeling of one month fever free is so wonderful I

can't imagine how we would feel if he starts to fever again. But, we

are looking foward to the best outcome possible, despite my hand

continuing to check his forehead for any fevers I hope I can

break that habit! Thanks for letting me share our news!

That's wonderful news!

You will stop checking for fevers soon. My son, 2.5 years old has been fever

free since his surgery in May. The fevers seem a distant memory now and we are

always looking toward a healthy future. I too checked for fevers for a few

months, but no longer do. I actually don't even have Tylenol or Motrin in the

house any longer, as has been so healthy! On top of his fevers he used

to catch every cold and virus that made its rounds. I think his body was so run

down from constantly battling the fevers he was open to all of the germs

floating out there. This is no longer the case. Even better than the stopping

of the fevers is the change in my child's disposition. He is so much happier

now, eating well and palying hard. Really, I have a new boy:-)

For us the surgery really was not a difficult decision. After reading the

success stories here, we could not get into surgery fast enough, which is why we

opted for T & A when he was 24mos...I'm impatient. It seemed like the only real

permanant cure. We went into surgery with great optimism and we now have great

optimism that these fevers are behind us. I too urge parents to go this

direction. I know surgery is not without risks, but I'm not so sure having

constant fevers is without risk either. The 10 days recovery (equivalent to 2

fever episodes) is a small price to pay for good health and an opportunity for

these kids to go to school, birthday parties, vacations, and play without

interruption.

Keep us updated!
