I wish I could find my list so I could see if there was anything to add! It looks pretty much just like our list- AND great add on of things they DON'T tell you! Ann- I like you was SOO scared that Braden would be over-corrected, it was also my biggest fear from surgery. GREAT questions! I wish I could find my list so I could see if there was anything to add!

Time is of the essence, get it done earlier rather than later. 2. If it's a teaching hospital do not allow residents to work on your child, assisting is fine, but not working. 3. Pediatric anesthesia is delicate, ask to meet the anethesiologist and find out who will intubate your child. 4. With the inner (medial) muscles, your child will cry blood when he/she wakes up. It is disgusting and shocking, hopefully this will take the shock away. 5. You do not want them to fall or jump for a month post op. Do not let your child watch any TV leading up to the surgery, the TV will be your best friend post op, it will keep your child still. You can do this. It's okay and difficult and too much to explain but you can do it and your child deserves it. My understanding is the earlier the better. Things they don’t tell you.

It's quite useful. Often, when I'm in the middle of a situation, I never remember all the questions that should be asked. Thanks again for this list. I will bring it to our next appt if the situation of surgery comes up. Thank you so much for this post. It’s quite useful.
