Ergh, I didn't think about the fasting thing. He wakes up, he NEEDS food to go back to sleep so he's never gone more than a few hours without food ... its actually the only reason he's still breastfed or I would have stopped by now. I can see a drive to Adelaide with a screaming baby the whole way

Its a minor operation and we've been given the various things that could happen without surgery and the possible things that can happen during it with the flippant "I do this sort of thing all the time, nothing to worry about". Ironically the other half probably should have had this surgery when he was little and he does have some of the possible effects they listed but I guess they didn't offer it back then.

We waited over 6 months for this initial appointment but the surgeon says he can have the operation in a few weeks so I don't have quite as long to think about it this time ...
