tonsillectomies for kids...

6. My son finally has his taken out at 14 yrs old after several sore throats. He had it done

at Walter Reed Army Hospital in DC. That was an experience. When I took him home is was still sick and after the week end I took him to the ER in the morning at Ft Meade in Maryland. What a run around. They ended up sending me to the Ped's clinic and it was 7:30 in the morning. I walked in there and they told me to take him to the ER and I told them they said to bring him to their clinic. I raised my voice and told him he had gotten out of the Hospital last friday and he had eaten anything and I was worried. Well the head doctor could hear me because we were the only ones in the clinic at that time. He took us in his office. It ended up my son had strep throat that he got while in the hospital. After the doctor gave him a shot and medication and he turned out ok. But to be honest he still gets sore throats. They say it's a little hard of older kids. Wish you luck.
