Guest guest Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 Hello everyone, I have finally found some computer access at the hospital so feel that I can finally connect with people again. Shaelin has just completed his first week of IV antibiotics (Tobramycin, Oxicillin and Ceftriaxin) and has adjusted well to being in the hospital. He will probably be having sinus surgery sometime next week as apparently he has some very large polyps that need to be removed. Do these grow back and if so, how soon?? He will then need two additional weeks of IV antibiotics which I am hoping to be able to do at home. He feels well and is wild in the hospital especially as they have restarted his albuterol and also put him on prednisone (to decrease the sinus inflammation). All of the hospital tips were great and have come in very handy - especially the Clorax wipes. I couldn't believe how dirty things like high chairs were! I will keep you posted on our ongoing progress. Jeanne (foster Mom to Shaelin, 20 mos wcf who we are hoping to adopt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 I am so glad you found the computer. Great news that Shaelin is doing a bit better. your right about the hospitals & cleanliness..They think if they wipe the floor with a dust mop that is good.....RIGHT......It just moves the dust up to your nose easier, once stirred. BUT , am glad you doing stuff " to help . I am thinking really strongly about you & yours at this time. best wishes. Keep up on progress LOVE & HUGS< GrandmomBEV Update on Shaelin Hello everyone, I have finally found some computer access at the hospital so feel that I can finally connect with people again.
