My son Jacob had Day Surgery Yesterday. He had a dental procedure done to extract a tooth with an abscess. He was such a great guy, very up beat and very social with all the nurses. It had been scheduled since December so I had lots of time to discuss with him what was going to occur, there were no surprises. While getting admitted and getting his vitals checked there was another family with a child and the little boy was asking what he was doing there, and was very frightend. I believe that being honest with the boys is the best way, I have always explained everything in an age appropriate way to the boys, Always honest when they ask is a needle going to hurt.. um yep it hurts..
Everything went great, we got there at 8am, and left the hospital at 2pm.. Soft foods only for a day and Jay asks on the way home for a cheeseburger...umm No!!! He was easily satisfied with a pudding!!
Before
After
After.. My little trooper!!
That being said my eating yesterday left a lot of room for improvement. I did not eat on any schedule what so ever and am declaring that between the hours of 8 and 3 a write off. I got back on track at supper and today is a new day!! Falling is not Failing
Hope your son is feeling okay today and I'm glad everything went good yesterday!! That's the perfect attitude to have!! We all have our bad days and if I was in your position I would have probably ate a whole pizza, some cake etc. I definitely eat when I'm stressed, so I'm sure you did better than I would have!! Have a wonderful day!!
