Shaelin & Boston Childrens

Hi Everyone,

As usual, I read all of the post but do not post very often. The

news about Boston Children's was particularly scary for me as Shaelin

just was in there last month for IV antibiotics. Luckily I insisted

that 3 of the 4 week could be done at home and they reluctantly

agreed. Today he is going in for a pre-op eval and he is having

surgery for sinus polyp removal on Monday. Hopefully it will only be

an overnight admission and this time he will not feel well so keeping

him confined should not be difficult.

They just redid their clinic which desperatly needed it. In the old

clinic there was a large playroom with visibly dirty toys. Now there

is no playroom and patients are moved into their rooms soon after

arrival. Hopefully these changes will help.

I have been out of touch for a week or so... just been too busy to

get to all the mail. What was the news about Boston Children's?

My son had his sweat tests done there but we opted to go to MGH

for follow up on his pediatrician's advice. I think all waiting rooms

are pretty disgusting. I wish they would give us one of those beeper

things like they use in restaurants to let us know when to come to

the floor for the appointments.

We use my sons original ENT in Quincy for polyp surgery. He uses

a very sophisticated helmet with targeting telemetry inside to assist

in the surgery. The set up is actually more advanced than what they

have at Children's. My son comes home about 5 the day of the surgery.

The anesthesia makes him very sick afterwards so they let him sleep

and give him plenty of anti-naseau drugs.

I hope all goes well for your son's surgery and he is home soon.
