Hello everyone,
I wondered if anyone has any experience of their young child having open heart surgery? My 5 year old boy has a large hole in his heart which can not be repaired through keyhole surgery so he is having an open heart operation at Great Ormond Street in October. I am generally ok about this, it is a straightforward operation (as far as open heart surgery goes!) and he is in a brilliant place with brilliant doctors etc. As the date gets closer I am starting to feel more anxious about it (I am quite anxious about a lot of things) and I just wondered if anyone has any experience of this and can offer any reassurance or even advice? Thanks.
