yes my boy had a catheter inserted, but it came out quite fast. If you are concerned about a latex allergy then it would be wise to get him tested for this before surgery. Most surgeons wait until 6 - 24 months before operating, so you have lot of time. It's not nice having your little one in surgery but hopwfully it will just be one surgery.
A friends twins both have this and are awaiting surgery, I hope you have had a chance to discuss your concerns with your HCP and that you are feeling more confidnt with the proceedure Best wishes
Ds didnt need to piece of tube inserted, they saw how it was in the operation and were happy not to. its hard for them to decide beforehand apparently...
yeah i am hoping for it to be as simple as possible. i was told he would likely have the tube and his winky bandaged but as you said its up to them when they are fixing it and seeing if it will need it or not.
After the op ds was fine, he didnt cry in pain or anything and didnt need any other pain relief as he was groggy still from the general , he was over it pretty quickly actually , considering there age too is good to get it fixed when they cant remember stuff like that
yeah thats why i want it done as soon as possible after the 6 month mark i had a friend whos son needed a medical circumsism at 2 and he was not happy at all screaming trying to play with it and just not himself for awhile the poor little guy. and also the hospital is in fremantle which is not too far from us but will still take half an hour to get their for dh to come up or to bring kids up if he stays in hospital which i have stayed in hospital with DS1 when he had trouble breathing and i cried my eyes out like the whole time im such a sook for my kids.
hi girls ds3 has his op next weds yay!
downside this little boy loves his peepee lol! and now racing about everywhere! he has also been known to take his nappy off!
so my question is if he has a catherder is their a bag or does it sit fine with a nappy. dressing him what clothing is better for him for the next few days?i was thinking maybe onsies or maybe pj's?
