Having a break down - Bailey's surgery on hold

Daisy22 · January 2010

The nurse from Children's daysurgery called me at lunch time to say that they can not do the surgery b/c of Bailey's pnuemonia. She said the anesthesiologist will not clear Bailey until 6 weeks after his pnuemonia which would be February 22nd. I told her that Bailey is running low grade fevers and his double ear infection is resistant to antibotics. She told me I have to call the ENT to discuss it with him and if he deems the surgery is absolutely necessary then the anesthesiologist will do a complete work up of Bailey (probably x-rays and all) before he'll consent. It's like a double edge sword. I don't want Bailey to be sick like this for antoher month but I also want him to be okay with the anesthesia. If he can't have it until febrauary 22nd, he can't go back to school so dh and I have to figure out a way to work. I'm so tired and can't stop crying! Thanks for listening to me vent.

I'm so sorry things have been so rough for little Bailey and rough on you and DH too

Did they ever try the rocephin antibiotic shot series for the dbl ear infection? I hope they can either get that cleared up or your ENT clears him for surgery before 6 weeks out. (((HUGS)))

Yep, we did those thursday, friday and on monday. Nothing! He's still running low grade fevers and both ears are still infected. That's what sucks!

I am so sorry! I hope that they find a way to give him some relief. I understand how this can get stressful too from a work perspective. Hugs!

I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this and that Bailey is still sick. I hope that your ENT is able to figure out the best course of action for you and that Bailey feels better soon!

Oh no! I hope he feels better soon and you're able to move up the tubes.

I am so sorry!!! I can't imagine how hard it is to have a sick little one. I will add Bailey and you to my prayers.

I am so sorry- I forgot to tell you this!!!! We had to wait 6 weeks too and Gavin kept getting other illnesses and we kept having to push it back. The anesthesiologist wouldn't clear him until his lungs had been clear for that long and then he came in that morning before the surgery and spent some time listening to him and had me do the breathing treatment before surgery. Can they do a shot of antibiotics to clear it up now and follow up with another round to try to keep him healthy until the surgery? Then start the clock and pray he doesn't pick up anything else viral in the 6 weeks. Gosh I'm so sorry- I totally remember going through this exact same thing and it sucked. I was really getting frustrated.
