Anybody have a child that had to have an operation?
Just got back from the hospital and they have decided they want to a biopsy on ds3's mouth and i so worried and scared something horrible will happen to him with the anesthetic.
I'm so scared that something could go wrong and they might not be able to wake him, he seems so little to go through something like this especially over something that seems quite minor. To make it worse it was this time of year two years ago i almost lost ds2

I'm so sorry about this Mrs_P, I understand your worries but they will probably give him very little anesthesia if they have to take a sample of his tongue. My DS was operated when he was 7, they removed his adenoids and tonsillitis. I was very very worried and afraid most especially about anesthesia but he was fine and doctor said that little ones usually seem to get better faster after an operation. When are they going to operate him?

I am so sorry you are going through this. My son had to have surgery at one month and at 1 year. Not the same kind. He has an intestinal disease. It is so hard to go through any surgery, but I would agree with the others that he probably won't have very much anesthesia. When will it be?

Thanks girls - we haven't got an appointment yet but they said 8 weeks time which is right on christmas. I know its so silly but i spent all morning crying - silly pregnancy hormones - am so worried something might go wrong. If he'd have been older they would have done it whilst he was awake but they said its too traumatic for a little person to go through.
NBP what is a twilight?

One month that must have been so scary i'm so glad he is ok. The doctor said to me we have to operate on really little ones (he's under birmingham childrens hospital) compared to them he is so big but he just seems so small to me. I'm so sorry you had to go through that x

My ds1 has had to be put under for an MRI of his brain at 2, then had to have his adenoids and tonsils out at 3. It's really tough to see them go under. For the MRI they let me back there as they wrapped him up like a burrito and put the gas mask on him, and he started to get scared and his eyes were desperate and he didn't understand why- it was awful to see his eyes roll back and I was so scared like what had we done...same with the tonsils, but they didn't let me back for sterility reasons...but both times I think it was harder on us in the long run. He didn't show any signs of remembering for the MRI, he just woke up like any other sleep wake-up, not a care in the world. The tonsils were a different story, because he was in pain.
I think your sweet boy will be just fine, especially if they're just checking things out. It'll be harder on you than on him- there will be a few minutes of confusion and then he'll just be asleep. Depending on his language abilities you can make him a social story to explain what is going to happen, step by step, and read it to him starting maybe a week out so he doesn't have to be as confused. My son didn't have enough language for me to explain it to him first.
Fingers crossed that the spot is nothing to worry about. It's never easy when it's your baby. <hugs>12.24.08 4.13.10 third and last. It is nice being queen of my castle but would love to add a princess.

DS 2 had to have tonsils and adenoids out at 2. Everything went really well and he was back to eating bbq chips in no time!
