Update!!!!!!! So took my son to Shriners today for his surgery tomorrow. I had wondered why they wanted him a day early, well I found out and was very pleased. When we arrived (me, my son, and my ex) we were given a room, then a social worker came in and talked to me and the ex individually and then my Son with us. After that the nurse came in to take his pre-op info, then came the Physians who are conducting the surgery they were very informative and went through everything that was going to be done with my son, with that said the suregeon sent in a child care specialist who sat down and explained to my son everything that would happen to him up to his surgery. This is my SOns fear, the IV and waking up in pain....she was equipped with every tool that would be used and showed him what they were going to do and made sure my son understood that he would not be in any pain whatesoever! I left the Hospital tonight so that my ex could stay with him and I will be there tomorrow with him for the surgery and will stay with him all night! Shout out to Shriners for being so thurough!
