Just want some positive vibes, prayers, mojo, anything for tomorrow. Oldest will finally be getting her nose cauterized for the nose bleeds. Hoping to put it past and behind us but still a little anxious and nervous

I had this done as a child. I think I was 8 maybe 9? Best thing ever. I used to get the worst nose bleeds and at that age I was mortified when they happened at school/school bus.

Thinking of your oldest baby!

@medspouse
Thank you! She's 3 and hoping we can put it behind us. consecutive nosebleeds these past 3 days just reaffirms we are making the right choice. Just a little anxious cause she needs to go under

All done. At home resting. It was a rough awakening and lots of crying but she seems to be back to her normal self.

Hope your baby is feeling better. Curious, how do you decide to do this? Lambie gets frequent nosebleeds and my pediatrician seems unconcerned.

She is doing pretty well! Back to her sassy self and reasoning. Her nose is swollen and a little pink bruising but hasn't complained one bit about it. [MENTION=1498]MrsK[/MENTION]
We decided after she turned 2 (she had been getting them since she was 7 months old) and every time she got it, it seemed to be too much blood for just a regular nose bleed. We thought seasonal changes, allergies, picking her nose (even though i wouldn't ever see her do it) and as she got older, they became less frequent until a month before her 2nd Birthday. She was drowning in her nose bleed ( her crying caused it) so took her the pediatrician and scheduled an ENT appt. she got one on her birthday and the we were on a waiting list cause we were on state insurance but she stopped getting them for 3 months and thought we were all clear. We moved and she started getting the again. She would be sleeping and get them. At this point I've had tried everything. Vapors, humidifiers, cool mist, even to the point that I would try for her to not even start crying cause it would start. Finally took her the pediatrician out here and told her I was done. Scheduled another ENT and he gave us an ointment for her nose and that it should be used for 2 months and it should clear. Well it didn't. So needless to say, we scheduled her surgery and even then she got a bloody nose three consecutive days leading up to it. During our consultation once she was done, he confirmed she needed it down.
Deep down, you just know if it's something more than an occasional nosebleed due to nose picking or seasonal allergies but for us, she'd be sleeping and a nose bleed would start, (I think I even shared a very disturbing photo here)
Once the ENT confirmed that her vessels were pretty big for her age and after using the ointment, we decided it was time to do it.

Sorry for such a long response lol
I've just gotten a lot of "talk" from other who found out about it and I feel like I have to justify it. It's not like I want to put my baby under just because by anyways, thank you everyone.
She really is herself besides just a wide nose for now

It sounds like you tried everything. I truly doubt anyone here believes that you'd put her under unjustifiably. I hope she has an easy recovery (sounds like she's pretty much recovered) and that this resolves the bleeds. ((hugs))

I'm glad you were able to get it done, and that it went well! Hopefully she recovers quickly and that's the last of her nosebleeds!
