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!

At clinic last week Kristy's doctor said they'll probably bring her

in a few days before the op and keep her for a few days after or

more depending on what they find in her sinuses. There is

apparently some kind of infection rampant there, could possibly be

fungal though. The nurse is going to ring me back with admitting

details. Would be very happy if it was just going to be an

overnight stay!!!!!!

they're going to try to place her in 4th floor

medical....fingers crossed, but I expect she'll be elsewhere post op!

Thanks for the antibitoic/sinusitus story...interesting. Kristy has

taken Augmention duo forte on and off this year and it seems to have

done nothing to improve her sinus problems, but has worked very well

when she's had chest problems.

I'm sorry to hear of Kristy's need for sinus surgery. Ainslie now 11

had hers done in late May and she only stays for a few hours after

the surgery, it had been nearly 3 yrs since her last cleanout.

Ainslie has Augmentin duo forte on a continuous basis because of her

sinuses. She has Cipro when they really flare up.

Having said that this winter she has not gone on cipro at all - this

is the first time in 6 years- I put it down to the extra 100 mg of

magnesium I have been giving her. And recently she started with a

post nasal drip tyoe cough and so I started her with accupuncture

and it seems to be working. It is with a GP who does accupuncture

and he has a tendency towards natural type therapies.

His big advice for sinuses (which I think works well for normal

sinuses) is deep quick breaths through the nose, and inhaling steam

(which we do not do) but Ainslie does have a saline nasal spray.The

other option is lots of sea swimming- this also helps to keep the

sinuses clear.

I hope that the surgery goes well, and that she is not so nervous

and the staff accomodate your needs.

I'd better go I am at work

YES!!!!!! Good Advice!!!! n, who had the ESSAL surgery. . .

Re: sinus surgery

has anyone else had this type of sinus surgery before.?

They used to do this type of surgery before they had the imaging

system currently available. I would get a second opinion before

proceeding to see if there is another option. I know my son's ENT

said sometimes they do have go through there to gain access to some

areas but it usually it is not necessary. Anyway, if they need to

make an incision through his face so near the eye (and it's possible

complications), I would definitely get a second opinion.

Re: sinus surgery

We went in today to the ENT and said she didn't think her polyps had

> grown any.

That's great news Deb!
