Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 , Every time one of my kids has surgery they end up with that croupy cough, and they always tell me its from intubation/extubation. BUT, I always ask though, b/c it sounds bad!! LOL Is he retracting? Does he have good color? Does he sound like he has stridor at all? Is he gasping? We always end up using the neb after surgery for several days. However, the colorful gunk could be a sign of infection or something. I would make sure he sees the dr. And wow, it must really hurt him to cough so hard after surgery!! I know after I had my gall bladder out, just laughing hurt. , sometimes I feel crazy too. Its not just you. This is hard. And sometimes, the things going on seem just to STUPID to be for real. One yr, we stopped answering the door, or the phone,for like a week, things were going so crazy. We just stayed in the house. The first phone call we answered, someone had died. We really do feel " jinxed " sometimes!! I laughed when I saw what you wrote about being sent to the institution. got called for jury duty twice in one yr, and I was so jealous. I was all, " HEY!! I WANT to be sequestered for week!! Pick me!! Pick me!! " LOL Try to keep your head on, valarie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
