I just received some info about Owen's surgery in the mail (still no surgery time though).

I was worried about him being about to eat. According to the brochure they sent me about the surgery, he can have formula up until 8 hours prior to surgery. Then he can have water, apple juice, pedialyte, or Sprite (which I would be afraid to give him) for up to 3 hours prior to surgery.

They will only send him home on Tylenol every 4 hours for pain. It also says he can be bathed in warm water from the day after surgery for short periods of time (I thought when they were circ'ed that you couldn't bathe them for awhile after it...)...maybe because he's older? I can take his dressing off after 3 days by allowing him to soak in the tub for more than 15 minutes.

If he has a catheter, it may be left in place for up to 14 days and will be on antibiotics until the catheter is removed.

He can't straddle toys for 2 weeks. Which means no jumparoo, walker, or anything like that! Yikes...how am I gonna entertain him for that long!

A surgery nurse is suppose to call me the day before surgery to go over everything and give me a time for the surgery.

Do any of you see any more questions that I should or need to ask?
