DD was 1year old when she had emergency surgery. She was pretty sick so it was rather frightening as we were told there was more chance of the anaesthetic causing breathing problems, luckily this didn't happen. I was able to come into a small room just outside of the operating theatre and stay with her until she was under. She was very upset, but she was like I said pretty miserable due to illness. I was a mess once I went into the waiting room, but I was in shock as everything had happened so quickly. We had gone to ER at 10pm the night before and by 11am the next morning she was being operated on. The moment I heard her cry in the recovery room was the sweetest sound, to know she had come out ok was such a relief. She was pretty groggy afterwards and slept like a log. The next day she was like a new girl she bounced back so quickly and because she was obviously feeling so much better overall.

Good luck, it is hard to watch your little one go through it, but obviously necessary for their health.
