Barbara,

I know what ward you mean. If she speaks to the psychologist will they

keep her then in 4th floor med. If she isn't staying in overnight why

can't she just stay in the short stay ward or the DOSA unit?

Sinus Surgery

Well Kristy is heading back into hospital early Dec for sinus

surgery, not even two years since her last. I can't remember who

started talking about it on here but thanks so much for the idea of

Pulmozyme via a mask instead of a mouthpiece. Kristy's doctor

agreed to this, however, it doesn't seem to have been of much

benefit to date, I guess her sinuses are just too clogged up. Added

to that she feels nauseous constantly (probably due to post nasal

drip) and has had some episodes of reflux too....all new to her!

Kristy's biggest fear atm is being placed in a specific ward in the

hospital (she's much more concerned about this than the surgery)

after a rather negative experience there in the past. Have any

other parents here experienced this type of thing with their

children? I would also add I was with Kristy in this ward and I

was the one who asked for us to be moved....so I also have

conflicting feelings about it. I think it's great they have a

special ward for 12 - 18 year olds, but there is a huge degree of

age difference/maturity there and Kristy is a very young 13. I have

discussed this briefly with the clinic nurse and she suggested

Kristy talk to their psychologist whilst in hospital..they will

attempt to place her in a different ward too this time!

My son had two sinus surgeries last year. He never stayed in the

hospital overnight - it was " outpatient " surgery. I don't think he

would care what recovery room he was in. He gets too darn sick from

the anesthesia to care. Mostly he is concerned about not throwing up

and having to wear a pad under his nose.
