We went to Alder Hey wich is a really good hospital but sometimes you do have to make sure you're prepared to ask questions as sometimes they are so busy they can forget what they've explained. I'm sure they will keep you well informed but it'll make you feel better if you just ask anything you're not sure of. The Anethetist should come and see you the morning of the op to discuss things, take this opportunity to ask as many questions as you want. they also come after the op too so again take the opportunity to ask questions as you'll feel more in controll.
we took him down to theatre and then went down to collect him when it was all over.
It was pretty good on the whole, you can't not worry but at least you know that's natural, I hope it all goes well x x x
Good luck and hope all goes well x
My lil man is being admitted friday 27th nov so just 2 weeks tomorrow for his operation.
George was born profoundly deaf and is having cochlear implants in both ears. He is 16 months and the op takes a minimum of 6-8 hours.
I am pretrified. He had an mri at 6 months old and was put to sleep for thos but was only out fora maximum of an hour and I didnt find it as bad as an op wasnt involved he was also so young and luckily was already asleep when they put him asleep.
This time I know we will be in hospital for 2-3 days and I am thinking of things to occupy him for the sat.
I just wanted to wish you all the luck in the world xxxxx
Take care xx
i know its easier said than done, but try not to worry too much before hand,try and take it day by day. I won't lie, the whole experience was a horrid one for us as she had major abdominal surgery at 7 months but you really will be amazed at how resiliant these little ones are and how they bounce back! When we were in hospital there was a little boy there who'd been in traction for 6 months and his mummy was amazed at how he'd coped. I'm sure your little girl will come bouncing back and recover very quickly - I was surprised how quckly ava recovered x x
