Not sure if this is the right place, or if the title is right. DS4 has had 8 general anaesthetics. He was 2 last month. 2 of them were long (3 hours plus) major surgery, others were more minor. Sometimes when people post on facebook about their child having their tonsils out etc and they don't understand why they have to hang around waiting or the pros and cons of cannula v gas anaesthetic). It makes me realise it's not normal to be on first name terms with the anaesthetists or for the play therapists to know which app on the ipad is your child's favourite to distract them from the anaesthetic mask. Sometimes I wish I could breathe a sigh of relief after an operation and think thank goodness that's over like normal people. But every time we leave the hospital I know we'll be back soon. I don't know anyone else who has to do this and sometimes I think I'm the only one.
