DS1 (4) is going to Hinchinbrooke on Friday, as a day patient to have his belly button tidied up (he had an umbilical hernia when a baby). We've been to visit, he was very nervous, and hates all the poking and prodding, but after looking round (at the toys!), he's quite excited.
I on the other hand, am DREADING it!! Any tips for me? How can I make it as smooth a process as possible? We've said he can have lots of treats and a special toy when he comes out, Im worried that the hour long journey later that day is going to be really uncomfortable for him.
Can anyone give me any tips about what to take, or anything else you can think of to make it easier? I know it's only a very simple operation, but he's my pfb and I'm worrying about it
