Squint Surgery process..

7.40 am: Reached KKH..Everyone have to wear mask in hospital after temp checked.
Went for registration @Day Surgery.

7.50 am: I went in with Dillion to get his heartbeat checked and changed to operating gown for him.

8 am: He played in the waiting area for awhile before being sent up to the Theatre


8.10am: Kevin accompanied him in as I do not have the heart to see him under GA.
D played while waiting. I sat outside .. my heart was beating fast! so worried.

8.50 am: Sent into theatre. A nurse blew bubbles to distract him. Kevin pinned him down so that a nurse can put mask over him then he knocked out

we went down for our breaky. We bought a Barney balloon and Elmo book to cheer him up!

9.50 am: Got a call that D is out. We went back to the Theatre. Told to wait again for him to wake up from GA.
It was a long wait and made us even more worried

10.30am: Nurse came out and call for us. I decided to be the one to go in to see him.

He was whinning and crying for his Daddy. My heart break. He kept moving and crying when i carried as he still weak under GA. I could not handle and almost in verge of crying.. so gotta get Daddy to come and take over.

Barney balloon managed to calm him down. And he stopped crying.

11am-12.30pm: Went back to Day Surgery to let D recover and munch some food. He took some bread and O juice and thankfully no sign of vomitting (side effect of GA).

Daddy have to kola him and he slump his head over the shoulder, looking so sad.

Meantime.. heard a few kids crying there.. my heart goes out to them and their parents.

1pm: Reached Home. Washed him up then he puked on our bed due to side effect of GA. Fed him milk then he went back to sleep.

4pm: Woke up and back to active self! and took 1.5 bowl of porridge.

It was a tiring day and we are glad we made it.
