Re: Can I leave shoes off tonight?

December 30, 2005

you can break up the time that he wears them over the next 24

hours. So, say you put them on tonight while he's awake if he's

tolerating them well and take them off for sleep so he is comfortable

(poor little guy! - hope he's feeling better soon!) Then, do part of

the hours in the am tomorrow when he wakes up, give him some break

and then try to get them on a little early tomorrow evening. You

still get the required hours in the 24 hour period (or close to it),

he just wears them a little bit longer tomorrow night because you

start a bit early.

HTH - give him kisses for us!

Hi Tabitha, I don't know if you should leave the shoes off since we are early

in this process ourselves but I wanted to tell you that my son got his adenoids

out and tubes put in a couple of years ago and was in pain and fussy for about

24-48 hours and then was pretty much normal. We did tylenol and ibuprofen

during that time and he did pretty well, although we had to keep giving it

regularly...if I forgot a dose or was late with one I could tell he was in pain.

Good luck and hope your little guy recovers quickly,

Can I leave shoes off tonight?

OK everyone, Karter had tubes put in and adeniods taken out at 7:00 this

morning. It has been a very long day. He is still having some drainage from

ears and nose. He does not seem very comfortable, but they did send us home

saying that the drainage if minimal is normal. He is still very sleepy, but

when not sleeping he is whiney(sp?). Would I be the worst mother if I left his

shoes off tonight and waited for Sat. My husband and I are both off until

Tuesday, so I was thinking he could have them on during the day. It is almost

time to put them on. If he is screaming alot it can cause additional bleeding.

Please if anyone is there let me know. Thank you

Thanks for such a fast reply. He has the shoes on now and I am planning on

leaving them on as long as I can. He has relapsed 4 times since birth, so we

are very worried about shoes being off. As long as he doesn't scream for a long

period of time the bleeding and drainage should be OK. I really wish my older

one would have been sick more, so I would have been prepared for this child.

Just amazing the difference in children, even when they come from the same

place.
