Re: Just need to vent and ask advice LONG I'm sorry

had his tonsils out shortly before he turned 3, because of recurring Strep

throat. He had it, as did my husband about 8 or 9 times when he was 2. The ENT

did not recommend removing the adenoids & I'm trying to remember why.

already has trouble swallowing & eats mostly soft foods. I think the ENT

thought this could get worse if we removed the adenoids. Of course they did it

as an outpatient. It was only later that I read that kids w/DS have a higher

risk of bleeding after that surgery & it s/b inpatient. Luckily he did not

start bleeding.

I like the idea of having a directory with a brief amt of info on the parents

& child. I have trouble keeping everyone straight too. However, some of you

may not like it!

Interesting , never heard this.

Have noticed the ongoing strep with my son too.

My son has had his tonsils and adenoids removed when he was a

youngster. I guess he was one who was fortunate to.

Thanks,
