Re: lazy eye operation
 
Hope everything goes well, will he have to stay in overnight or will he be a day patient?

Oh the poor thing i really feel for him (and for you), but it will be worth it in the end. Don't forget to let us know how it goes.

lets just hope he dosent have to wait all day like my little lad did!!....wasnt untill after dinner he had the operation and we too had to be there at 8.00am!!, (probably because there is other kids waiting for the op too!)
it is very boring waiting especially for the parent, but the kids seem ok they have things to play with:rolleyes:......but it does drag!!!

good luck;)

lets know how he went on!

p.s... if you want to know anything else about it just ask:D

They get you there nice and early for all the pre-op stuff, taking a blood sample and putting the patches on for the iv line for anaesthetic. He will be fine, it's the adults that are more nervous !

If it's a full anaesthetic they won't let him out till he has had something to eat and kept it down. I would imagine there will be a patch on. can you not get someone to give you a lift home or get a taxi ? Less stressful for the both of you that way plus you wouldn't be worrying about what time he was coming out then. Kels had her op on both legs and we were back home for 4 pm the same day, complete with 2 plaster casts ! She was in theatre for nearly an hour and then slept for about half an hour back on the ward before the anaesthetic wore off.

Re: lazy eye operation
 
my son had the op, on both eyes! he didnt wear a patch or anything like that, he will have to have drops in his eyes and have at least a week ofF school, ..did they not tell you this?....anyway he wont be able to play out either because they wont want him to get an infection by playing outside, getting his hands grubby and then rubbing his eyes:rolleyes:.

he will probably be grumpy and tired apart from that he should be fine.....my son didnt even have any black eyes or swelling!, there was nowt there whatsoever, the only scary part was him seeing a bit of blood on his pillow, which was watery ...understandable due to the operation i suppose, also one more thing he will probably get a bit of matter in his eyes which you will have to clean, like ya would have done if they got conjuctivitis;)
another thing,....try not to worry;)

My son had his eyes done with Mr Vijakumar. He's a brilliant consultant and cured my sons squints.

You will have to go for a pre op first, so that you can have a look around the childrens ward, and you can ask any questions you may have then (write them down lol)
