Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 , I am so glad that you two are home and doing relatively well. Interesting about the Tylenol with Codeine. We have had the same experience with Max. He used to overreact to meds that normally would make others sleepy. In fact, when he had the triple procedure and was given morphine, he did not sleep, did not act strangely, was just his normal, maybe a little hyper self. I know how worried you were about this procedure. I'm happy that it went smoothly and you can cross off another chapter in your lives.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I panicked after you mentioned the speech issues but your ENT explained she was going to leave the bottom ridge of the adenoids that would help with speech. And when Emerence finally was able to speak for real instead of the crying speech etc I felt better. Thanks!!!!!!! > > , > > I am so glad that you two are home and doing relatively well.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 , I am so happy to hear that Emerence is home and that she is doing alright after the surgery. Hopefully you guys are getting that much needed rest. And, I am glad to hear her voice sounds the same! ;o) Jodi R. > > Hi all, > > Emerence did well.
