    Thanks Olive, I may just Pm her.

    I have another appointment with the GP today, to discuss what happened at the hospital yesterday. I will sound him out for some short term tactics to try, if using zyrtec will be of any benefit etc..
    We will see how it goes ...

    hey starrysky, I'm here. my ds1 had his tonsils out, adenoids out and grommets put in his ears all in one go last november. i was so nervous and scared, but the results have been amazing. it was seriously the best thing we ever did. he has put on 5kg since the operation. his speech, hearing, sleep and overall health have improved dramatically. he has only had one cold in the last 6 months.
    we didn't find the recovery too bad- but the surgeon gave us a morphine type painkiller that helped enormously. i stayed in the hospital overnight with ds, we came home at 8am the next morning. please if you have any questions about it, just ask me. we are so glad we went ahead and did it.
