Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 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? (S.A.) 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!

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. jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
