100 days Fever Free

[Guest guest]

Hey Ginger I posted fever log before I read this email But I'm so

excited to hear the good news.

Did so with Dani's surg did she get tubes and T & A at the same time. If

so did she have to stay in the hosp overnight??

Angie - yes, we did tubes (her second set), tonsils and adenoids in one surgery.

She was only gone from us for an hour and that included putting her under and

after she woke up. She then stayed overnight one night.

I posted another recovery techniques email that I'd recommend reading.

Honestly - we really didn't think anything else was working very well, so

thought we should go ahead. She'd had 17 episodes in 14 months with rotten

tonsils most times that we went to the doctor. We just got to a point that we

hated to medicate.

The ENT told us that the old rule of thumb to wait until they are three was from

when they used to lose 6-7 ounces of blood. Now they lose less than an ounce.

Now the worst fear is hydration. I was really hyped up about it at the time,

but now I'm thinking that a single trip to the ER for an IV is not really the

worst thing. Well worth it for 100 days fever free.

The only other saving grace was Tylenol suppositories. Dani reacted to the

codeine (loritab, I think it was - with hydrocodone). She itched a lot, sweat A

LOT, and may have had some wild dreams. She started to refuse to take it. I

wish we'd switched to Tylenol suppositories much sooner.

For just ear tubes - there is practically no recovery time. Jay was completely

back to normal and happier once he got a good nap - so back to normal in 3-4

hours!
