Hello
On Tuesday my four year old little boy had an eye operation at the children's hospital. He has pstosis of both eye lids and the operation lifted both of the lids suspending them from his brow. To say the experience was traumatic is not an understatement . We had prepared ourselves for it to be upsetting but it was far worse. He fought not to have the mask to go to sleep and was really aggressive when he woke up. He has been in a lot of pain and his face is very swollen and bruised. He is on pain killer medicane along with morphine than we can give him at home. I know it's only been three days but I'm worried about how he is. He is sleeping the majority of the day, will eat and drink a little but won't really talk or engage with me or my husband. He is so different to the little boy before the operation . I have called the hospital who said as long as he is eating and drinking and does not have a temperature not to worry just yet. I'm just looking for some advice on anyone else's experiences with either this operation or something similar. Any advice would be much appreciated xx
