My daughter is having surgery :(

Bassetluv thank you so much. Your words are very encouraging. I couldn't imagine my daughter having surgery on her birthday. I bet your little guy was sad about that. We are actually at the doctor right now. My
Daughter is sick and we have to get her started on meds since her surgery is so close now. I'm pretty sure she has a sinus infection again. She usually gets an ear or sinus infection every 1-2 months. So she is due for one. It's pretty bad when you know it's time for your child to get sick.

Hopefully the surgeries will put a stop to her infections. When I was younger I used to get strep throat and tonsillitis at least once a month. I was constantly sick and in turn would make my siblings get sick too. I had my tonsils removed at age 6 and I haven't had any problems since. I can only remember getting once sore throat after that and I'm now 28.

Hopefully the result is the same for your daughter. Surgery can be scary but kids bounce right back after and if it means her not having infections ever few weeks then its worth it.

Hope she feels better soon

Ah getting your tonsils out is such a common surgery, lots of icecream and she will be fine Dont hear too many stories about that one.

I had the tubes when I was younger, the surgery must have been quite quick and easy, I remember the nurse joking with me about the masks and having fun, then all of a sudden they were giving me these super cozy warm blankets. Never had my tonsils out but from the standpoint from a kid who had the tubes done, its quite a breeze of a procedure (mind you this was almost 18-20 years ago). Once those tubes were in, I wasn't getting infections as often but I still did. I had it quite bad, I hated going to see that stupid ear specialist all the time for my "check up's" but I liked watching the tv of the camera tool thinger he stuck in my ear lol. But I also hated wearing the ear plugs when I went swimming, and the way my Mother would tell my friends about how they cant talk to me when we swim because I wont be able to hear them because I had those plugs in, so embarasing, and I could hear with them in.

Even now when I get a plain old cold, I typically get a minor ear infection every time, but I also dont do anything about it anymore, I stopped complaining about my ears hurting after I was about 8, I was more then sick of all the antibiotics shoved down my throat.
Hopefully the benadryl will make a difference, but once those tubes go in, it should make both her life and yours so much easier

I've had thoughts of getting tubes put inmy ears but they say it's bad to when you are an adult, so I've learned to battle sinus and ear infections. I'm on a daily allergy med with a decongestant in it-expensive! I just wish my grandfather hadn't been soo stubborn when I was younger. I was the only child with the problem out of three(I ahve an older sister and a younger brother. I have crooked sinus' and everything. Tubes would have been a great asset.

She should be fine, Doctors today are soo good! And they know ahead of time any family history is a major plus! I haven't meet ANY bad ones with all the diff doc's i've seen. Let us know how it turns out!
