hi, im just looking for a little advise of what to expect etc,

Bailey is due to have his tonsils out a week on wednesday 19th march he has his pre-assesment on tuesday but im really worried about how it will all go what he will be like after he comes round and the whole prosedure of it all it just seems so daunting hes so small and hes gonna go through the whole being put to sleep and things

just wondered if anyone else had had operations with there lil ones

Hi,

My son was about 2 when he went in to hospital for an op, (foreskin removed due to medical reasons)
It was a while ago and happily my son has never remembered anything about it, it was more an ordeal for me than him!
He remembers the 'nice nurses fixed him' and thats all!
From a personal point of view ask as much as you can b4 you go in so nothing surprises you, ask about the anethetic and what to expect and things like that so you dont worry at something totally normal!
I would advise you take someone as support if you can as its hard to see your baby in a hospital so you need support. (especially if he has to have something he does not like such as a needle or something)
The nurses are all fab usually, as i say ask.

Hope it al goes well, i am sure it will be fine, like i say he will forget really fast!!

Take care

I definately agree with taking someone with you for support. My son had an op at 29 days old and its very emotional for you as their mummy, obviously mine doesnt remember anything, but does know where the scar on his tummy came from. Definately ask any question, it doesnt matter how silly you think it may be, the staff are there to support you too. Good luck, i am sure things will be just fine.
