Maybe the kids with earlier sinus problems do better lung wise because they

are treated (or many of them are) aggressively for the sinus stuff with IV

antibiotics....long before they get lung probs and therefore are treated

preventivly (by osmosis) for potential future lung problems (even if the

intent is not to treat proactively, but that would be the end result, would

it not?) Our doc says that most tuneups for sinus have to be 21 days, but

only 10 days for just lung stuff.....hmmmmm, now you got me wondering.

Hi Jennie,

Well, you've got a plan, and it sounds like your pulm was really

accomodating and took a lot of time explaining stuff. I'm going to think

way-positive thoughts that the peripheral and PICC will go smoothly, the ENT

doesn't piss you off too much, and that most of all, the IV's do the trick

for Mallory! What do they do for the ear drain? My brother said that with

my nephew they simply stick a needle in and draw out the fluid (once without

sedation-- don't know what the ped was thinking that time! Jordan wriggled

out of the restraints, and it sounded pretty awful. The time they did it

with sedation was fine). But when I asked the ped ENT nurse what they'd do

if Meagan ends up needing the fluid drained, she said they'd to the

Miryingotomy (sp?), which is the procedudre they do when they put tubes in,

though she said M. wouldn't necessarily need the tubes part.

Hey, remember to take some time to pee! (And eat, and maybe a few hours of

sleep).

Love,
