Dylan has to have a minor surgery....

Anyway - surgery is March 7th.....so prayers...

HuskerMom replied: That's too bad you can't be with him. I'm sure he'll be fine. Lots of prayers.

Boo&BugsMom replied: Oh no, that sucks. My best friend just had a baby a month ago and had to have that same procedure, but they did catch it right away so they were able to just do it in the office at her newborn screening and go home. I wonder why they wont allow you to be in the room with him. ??? I can't imagine leaving my child at that age.

A&A'smommy replied: bless his heart!!! I"M SOOO shocked the didn't CHECK his tongue when you were having issues breastfeeding anyway he will be fine Just be sure to let us know how everything went!!

lisar replied: My cousin Coleton had that done when he was 3 or 4. I cant remember. He was fine literally right after the surgery. He was just happy the fed him ice creme

We are here for you!!!

luvmykids replied: I'm sorry they didn't catch it sooner I know it's scary to leave your child but I'm sure everything will go smoothly

boyohboyohboy replied: christine, can you ask to be allowed in the room until he falls asleep and then asked to be returned before wakes, even if they wont let you in during the proceedure?

CantWait replied: PT's your way.

lovemy2 replied:
I asked - they said No - I am sure they have reasons and from what I understand by the time I walk from the room they take him to the the waiting room he will be done - I was going to ask about getting a sedative for me
