Hi. Understand you completely. My daughter had gas for a minor procedure at the dentist hospital and I was that busy comforting her that I didn't cry til the door was shut behind me after I left the room! Its perfectly natural to worry like this. What amazed me was how quick they administered the sedation. It was like they were in a rush but I was told by the nurse after that they sedate quickly before child n Mum do a runner! Try not to worry matey. You will both be fine. :hugs:Let us know how you get on won't you?

My son had the same op many years ago and I couldn't believe how quick the actual procedure took! I went in with him to the op theatre, he got an injection in his hand which took effect immediately! I was a wee bit tearful when I left him but before I knew it he was back, wide awake and rearing to go!! Sometimes the lead up to things are worse than the actual event. I'm sure he'll just sail through it:yesyes:

My daughter was two when she had her hernia op.....nearly 13 years ago!! She has just has three teeth out this week and I still worried! Her words after her teeth, 'was is that it'! (I think it hurts us more than the children!)
You will never stop worrying, our babies are so very precious. As Myra said, they are up and at it very quickly afterwards.
Good luck for next Sunday, thinking of both of you!! x
