Re: Update on Kristy ......Gale

Hi Gale,

Kristy doesn't have polups, her right sinuses are completely clogged

up. She goes into hospital on Wed Dec 10th and the op is on the

12th, they said she'll be in for at least 3 days after depending on

what they find in her sinuses. (the ENT surgeon said her ct scan

shows infection there, not sure if it's fungal or bacterial at this

stage)

We are very relieved whatever is going on in the sinuses is not

affecting her lungs so far!!

Good luck! While she is under ask them to take a sputum sample from her

lungs. Its the best way to get a good sample. Also, make sure that they give

her

a shot of vitamin K for clotting.

OOPS! Cannot remember what silly goof I made, perhaps that it would be good

that she would be sedated if they did a bronch! Love and hope, n

Barbara,

Will you please send us the address for the hospital that Kristy will

be in? I'd like to send her a card. How old is Kristy? Is she

nervous about the surgery?

Thanks for the address. Cards always make children feel a little

better, even if it's only for a little while. I hope that her stay

is an easy one.
