Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hannah has large tonsils and adnoids we kept putting off the surgery since she seemed to be getting better.. then more rounds of infected sinuses and throat with an occasional croup still come back so we are now giong to schedule for after Christmas. my concern was not to have the surgery then sent home.. so I asked then DEMANDED she stay at least over night! you can demand they stay over night with or without insurance! do not let them tell you different stand your ground! hope this helped. ~Holly~ mom to Blakely 14 ADHD and Hannah MDS (leukemia with) / MDS Adenoid surgery Hi All, We just had an appt with the ENT and he recommended having Mark's adenoids removed if the X-Ray results showed that they were as large as a suspected. I don't have a problem with this, but what I am concerned about is that he says it will be day surgery. Has anyone's else's kids had just their adenoids taken out? And if so, was it day surgery or did they stay overnight? Thanks! Gwyn Mommy to Mark 6 months old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 We had 's adenoids taken out as outpatient and all went well. It helped her health tremendously to be rid of the infected adenoids. I hope all goes well.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hi Gwyn Adnoid surgery is not painful and should be just a standard proceedure for Mark. Most people never stay overnight any more for anything. (love those insurance providers) But, really Mark shouldn't feel any pain with the adnoids removed. It is the tonsils that cause all the pain. The trouble you could have is the anestesia. Some kids with MDS have trouble waking up fully after anestesia like other people do. So, talk about anestesia before you do this.
