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 When we have gone in for sinus surgeries we go in as out patient. We never have had to stay over night. Deb A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 I am sorry to hear about this . Please make sure you give us her address when she does go in . Cards might help a wee bit as she recovers. I hold her in my special thoughts. LOVE & HUGS, GrandmomBEV Re: Sinus Surgery In a message dated 10/20/2003 8:53:09 PM Central Daylight Time, gbnktilb@... writes: Well Kristy is heading back into hospital early Dec for sinus surgery, not even two years since her last.
