DS 2.5 had a GA last friday for a short procedure on his eye. It all went well and the hospital staff were great but he found the whole process quite upsetting. Hours later he was bouncing around at home like nothing had happened so we felt quite positive. However, I started to notice that his behaviour since, the last 3 days, is more aggressive e.g physical rather than sulky tantrums and he gets upset a LOT faster. Tonight he won't sleep in his own bed and is tearful if left alone. Has the surgery traumatised him?
