Hi all,
I joined this list because of my daughter who is ten and has fluctuating
cp.  I have questions for this group and I am hoping you would please be so
kind as to help me with them.  The first right now is that I am thinking of
having salivary reduction surgery done for her.  I have always been against
it before.  But now that I have heard they can change the direction of
gland and put them down the throat.  I tried robinal with her and it seemed
to make her pasty and tired.  She is in the fourth grade and I don't think
the drooling is helping with her social issues.  She speaks and walks with
a hand held but not by herself.  Any info or opinion you can give me I
would appreciate.  I am concerned about the pain and recovery but also
maybe in the long run she would rather not have to deal with the excessive
saliva anymore either.  It gets on her papers and her hair always has to be
tied back because it will stick to her chin and all the other reasons.
thanks so much,
Shawn
