You may have read on previous threads how my Ds (10yrs) was due to have a minor operation (Circumcision) today. (early morning basically) We arrived at 7.30am, then were finally told that the anaesthetist was very busy so we had to wait till 2pm. When we got to the anaesthetic room he got really scared and no matter what was said or done, he flatly refused to be put to sleep. He refused the gas mask, and the canulla in the back of his hand. . .20 mins later the doctors there siad they would have to leave it. I was gutted , but son was relieved. I was just so upset that the operation had not gone ahead, and to have got that far.. . . The build up to this day in my mind was great. DS did say to the doctors "I'm really sorry" and they were very sweet about it. Then he said the same to me. . .ah, bless and i told him no one was to blame. I said I could understand he was scared. So here we are back home and nothing had been done. [sad] Your thoughts and support mnetters, i would appreciate. My nerves are still in shreds.. . .its was so stressful and just awful! [blush] [sad][shock]
