With Karli feeling under the weather, Oliver and I headed back in to the hotel again yesterday. The plan was to have an IV line put in under a GA. So after breaky at 6.30, Oliver was fasting, and fast asleep by the time I got home around 10. Once he woke up it was off to PMH to pass the time until we went into theatre.
We had hoped that would be at about 12.30 or 1pm. We got in at about 3pm. Given our son's love for food, I was amazed at how happily he played whilst fasting. Though I suspect he didn't sleep because he was too hungry.
He was done and in recovery by 3.30. Clever dad took in his milk and cheese sticks, all which were hastily devoured, with a refill of milk from the nurse's fridge in the recovery area. We were back on the ward by 4, still chowing down, and out the door by 5 in time to enjoy the peak hour traffic.
We were a little concerned about him having a GA, but since they only used gas, and only for a short time, Oliver was none the worse for wear once he woke up. So that should be the way of it for the rest of his treatments, with a heavier GA when they decide to remove his port. Only 3 more to go. I don't think anything else could possibly go awry.
