Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Tina: Good idea to stop using the dishsoap - it sounds like that was the problem, glad the red spots are gone now! Cetaphil is a bit costly, but it is worth it, I use it on my dry skin & it helps a ton! Good luck, keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 Tina, I'm so glad to hear that you seemed to have found the cause for the irritations. I was really surprised to hear that you were recommended to use antibacterial dish soap on the band. Cetaphil may be pricey, but I'm sure it will be so worth it. I'm looking forward to hearing how your appointment goes on Monday!! Niki Kaylie & Danny (STAR grads) Phila., PA > Well, we had our appt., with the orthodist on Friday for an > adjustment.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Deadra- You're right -- that's much more than a five year old should have to bear (or for a parent to have to handle). I'm glad the surgery went well. I'll pray that Chase has experienced the last of his eye problems. Diane (, 4, pauci) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 Deadra, so gald to hear Chase come through the surgery well. I too know the agoney of drops after surgery! I've had catarats removed from both of my eyes. Unfortunately at the time they did my surgery, they we not doing lens implants. So I get the luxury of wearing glasses, (coke bottle style) but I can see, how evesr much I have, I still have vision. My thoughts will be with young Chase for a speedy and positive recovery outcome.
