On Thursday afternoon DS1 (5 yrs old) had a v short op for grommets/gromits/grommits.... all went well, hearing already much better, and no oozing or similar.
Now, I might have been given a false sense of security, DS2 had this before Christmas and the next morning was in his nursery christmas play..
DS1 def. felt rough afterwards, but ploughed through juice, jelly, ice cream etc etc and sandwiches, Finally left hospital at 7.30pm. Slept through til next morning. Woke up feeling unwell, but no pain etc.
I think he may well have a bit of a virus too, but I recognise the "feeling OK for an hour, then crashing for hours" as post-anaes. for me, and wondering if it's that for him. He gets white as a sheet, feels very sick, and essentially hasn't really eaten since that first night.
Am trying veyr hard not to feel concerned, but can't help it.
Any ideas, guidelines. Rang the ward on Fridya, they said, if he doens't have pain/major oozing, it's not the operation..but I'm used to the effects of anaesthetic being underplayed, but don't want to paint him with the same bruxh.
Sorry for typing, cooking/tending to the sick etc etc...
PS It's now Sunday 6.30pm here.
