My DS is 2.5 yrs old and is scheduled for an operation on his trigger thumb on Tuesday. The hospital only called me Friday morning with the appointment, asking him to be at the hospital at 1pm. They then explained that he could have tea (!) and toast before 7am, and sips of water until 10.30am, but nothing after that.
Has anyone any experience of this, or suggestions as to how to help him understand why I am not feeding him? I am particularly concerned that if the hot weather continues, he is going to being really thirsty. He tends to drink a lot during the day, and has a regular routine with meals and stuff. Any helpful advice gratefully received!
