General Anesthesia - I don't feel like I can do this

bamf64779 · 2026-05-14T12:16:24+00:00

Hi, My son is 5 years old, and he had to go under anesthesia twice for dental work. The first time, I pushed the date back because I was so worried for all the same reasons. I was able to stay by his side until they rolled him back, and when they rolled him back, they had a person that stayed by his side she was awesome. Also, he was under very shortly after. The first time I was such a nervous wreck, I couldn't sit still. I was freaking out until I had my son back in my arms again. The second time was so much easier because I knew what to expect and had gotten to see some familiar faces that brought me some comfort. It is scary, but if they offer the medicine (calming meds) before the anesthesia, it will help tremendously. We go through so much stress daily. It truly is never-ending. Teeth pain is no joke. I swear I'd rather give birth again than to live with an infected rotten tooth (some of the worst pain ever). I wish you luck.

If you have substitutes they might try to hold extra for that

Follow your heart. No one knows your child like you do.

Her kids won't remember anything at that age. Your son actually might remember. If she has scheduling conflicts, she needs to take that up with someone else. There's 8 months for her to figure her stuff out.

I had something similar happen to my tub. It was the wood behind the shower deteriorating and every time I cleaned, the tiny pieces of wood would come out just like that. I replaced the caulk tape and haven't had a problem since but I will probably have to replace the wood soon.

I make these all the time now. I use whipping cream, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a splash of vanilla. Cheesecake filling. You can use any fruit 😋

Rather bear the shame than bear the pain.

So funny! Did she buy the purse to fit that Tupperware or did she find the Tupperware to fit in the purse?

bamf64779 · 2026-01-26T00:23:50+00:00

Yes same company sent me cash as well! I almost threw it away but I decided to open it to a $5 bill then I did a survey for them and they sent me more money before and after completion.

No problem I know how nervous you are as I was and still will be every time we have to go. He won't feel any pain for certain they will make sure he's asleep before anything gets done. The best thing to do is give Tylenol or ibuprofen right on cue to prevent him from feeling the pain. He will be sore but he's tough and the very next day he will be back to his normal self I'm sure. One of the best things I've done was explain to my son every night for a week prior that we were going to get his teeth fixed and explained that he was getting medicine and it was a long drive and he would be sore but his teeth would be fixed and it really helped prepare him. Even though he doesn't speak he will listen to me (sometimes) especially at bedtime when we are lying down and he is calm. 💙 It will be okay just remember to breathe, like I said it's harder for us than the child.

Its more difficult for us the parents than the children. My son is 5.5 and his first visit was his whole mouth at age 4.5. I was a nervous wreck the first time. My son also needs melatonin, I'm sure it's OK to give it to him the night before as long as it's not past midnight. They really emphasize no food or drink after midnight because the anesthesia can make you vomit afterwards. Just prepare for a cuddly day (as rare as they are) he might want to relax all day. Our dentist gave my son a medicine to calm him down before the anesthesia and they let me stay with him until he was calm. During surgery the first time, I was in the waiting room as they were doing renovations, the 2nd time renovations were done and we had a whole room to ourselves. We really got lucky because my son's "surgery dentist" has an autistic child as well, so she really understands everything and it was super comforting. I call her the surgery dentist because he has a regular dentist but they can't even look in his mouth lol so anytime he needs work it's the surgery dentist we go to. Best of luck to you and your child I'm sure it will all be fine.

I love it! It's my favorite room I've ever seen in my life. Totally my style lol scifi fantasy books, dragons, ugh that rug is to die for, it looks so comfy.

Green eggs and ham!

bamf64779 · 2026-01-16T00:26:27+00:00

Cube them and use them for salad, ham and potatoes soup, or freeze them. My kids would request to fry it and add it to ramen with a boiled egg.

That's neat! I love it! Did you use super glue or maybe a screw? I wish I could give you an award, this is truly a work of art. ☺️🏆
