Does this sound correct?
He will have a dedicated board certified anesthetist monitoring him, as well as an IV, a heated water bag/pad under him and also pre-op bloodwork and possible heart workup.
I am a mess and beyond worried. I need my baby to come home tomorrow and I want to make sure I am doing what is best for him. Its taking everything I have within me to not drive back and pick him up. |
Could it be that they are just padding how long it will take? I know when I am working on someone's computer (I am in IT), I always exaggerate how long something should take to manage expectations. Something that should only take 10 minutes has sometimes taken a few hours to resolve so I always pad how long something might take to do.
