<t>Krista,<br/> Justin is having an MRI on 8/20 without sedation for the first time in Boston. He just turned 8. After our last unpleasant experience 2 years ago, I will not sedate him again. I have talked with him and promised him a few things if he lays still. We will see Dr. Waters right after th...

My son had the tendon transfer surgery with Dr.Waters 5 years ago. He has a very small, barely visible scar under his arm. Justin has done great over the past 5 years. We go back the end of August for his 5 year post-op MRI. Feel free to email me if you have any questions or concern.

Krista,
I am so sorry to hear about Ella. I can imagine how frightened you must have been. I hope she recovers quickly and is back to herself soon. Take care of yourself too!

Krista,
My oldest daughter had her adenoids removed when she was 7 because of the breathing problems. What a difference it made! Even her voice sounded clearer because she did not sound stuffy anymore. I am sure she will do fine. I will be thinking of you.

Krista, Glad to hear your visit went well. Good luck with the MRI. Justin is do for an MRI in May but we may wait until the summer. Let us know how it goes.

<t>Krista, I am so sorry that Ella is still in so much pain. I have never been to the Waltham office. I am surprised they could not fit you in sooner at Boston since it is an emergency. Is Waltham further from home? Well, at least you only have one more week to go. I will be thinking of you next wee...

Krista, Did you call Dr.Waters office to see if they could give you some advice? I hope she is feeling better. Let us know how she is doing.

<t>My son has had 3 MRIs at Children's in Boston. As the previous posters said, each child reacts differently. The first two, when he was 2 & 3 went well. The next one he was a bit older and had a bad reaction. Now my son is 7 years old and he needs another MRI in the spring but we will do it wi...

<t>Dawn, my son, Justin had the tendon transfer surgery with Dr. Waters when he was 21/2. That was 4 years ago. He has done great since then. I know you are very nervous as I was too. Depending on how old your son is, will depend on how much you should tell him. When they are that young they don't u...
