This was a very quick procedure and my daughter was 13 months old. I was able to go into the operating room with her, for about a minute. Thet gave her something to drink, to make her tired and drozzy, you are with thm every minute. We registered, played a bit, gave her the drink, then she was in the operating room, anout 15 minutes, in recovery, then we say her. Bring something to eat for him/her as they can eat after there last meal at night. Bring things that are soothing to them. They might sleep more that day and maybe the next. There will be blood in the eye and for about 24 hours, this is normal. Then she was back to herself. Get a lot of rest, we were to be at the hospital at 6am. They usually are the first to ge in, being there little. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any other questions, good luck. Alison Just had it done in OCT this year.
