Hi, I am Arveno from Surabaya city. In this content i want to share the story when the date that my son got surgery. This is the time when we got heartbreaking even though my son is already brave enough to facing this surgery.
Before Checking in on hospital, we got souvenir for hospital slop, soccer doll, and mini towel. And for spoiler those dolls is my son favourite stuff in his bed right now for remembered him about the surgery. After that we got the room and FYI since we are got many discount for this surgery and still got the best doctor but the other condition is we got room that not even class 1 we got below that with small room.
Just place to sit for 1 people to waiting the patience but the doctor really gives the best service for my son. From the nurse, the anesthesy, the surgeon, until some facility like free coffee refill. So, i think its still worth it. I am okay if i am not comfortable to sleep or waiting but in other words my son can be healed faster and in good hand.
The first step that i am afraid is when my son got receiving IV drip. At first my son really brave to handle this pressure since he knows how big the needle and he listening the process.
But, in the end my heart is like sliced using sharp knife. I know he is on pain at that time and want to crying out loud. The good news is he is having huge heart to enduring the pain in his left hand. And after the IV Drip have been put on. He cannot do much with his hand locked like that. But, thanfully his right hand can hold the phone so it will distracting from intense pain.
After waiting around 4 hours in that condition, then the nurse coming and bring him into the operation room.
And after he got prepared inside the operation room, i cannot goes in operation room since only 1 of the parent that can accompany my son. And this time my son want to get accompanied by his mother. So, wife goes inside instead.
After all the doctor came then my wife requested to leaving the room and then the srugery begin. It took around 60 minutes until my son finally awake and crying.
And this is his adenoid and tonsil. And thanks to God, this surgery was success. But, the most important part is after the surgery that is recovery time. The doctor said need to wait and monitoring around 2 days before my son can discharged from hospital.
And the 2 hours post surgery is the most heartbreaking for me. He is literally hard to breathe and talk. He just give sign that his throat is hurt and crying without a sound. And with that situation after release from anesthesi his brain is need to adapting again with everything that makes him dizzy ( i know this feeling since i felt it when i got eye surgery).
Since we are taking care fully of my son and calming his temper and his worry i cannot make a picture at all. Its really busy day and yeah both me and my wife is lack of sleep. Or i guess i am not sleep for 2 days in a row. It could be said, more precisely i cannot sleep at all. And in 2 days after surgery, my son throat is showing healing progreess so far. Right now he can and wanted to eating ice cream after more than 24 hours he did not want eat at all. Yeah the 24 hours post surgery is the hardest part for all of us. My son crying a lot, my wife persistent to persuade my son to eat, and i provide what my son and my wife needed in that time. And i need to stay alert if something happened to my son. Every crying i need to on alert and getting ready to call the nurse. And everything that my son need as long as i can i will provide it to him.
Of course not to forget to drink coffee while taking care of my son. This is my mood booster and also my stamina booster to stay awake.
And in day 3 my son already can smile and laughing. The pain is already reduced and he can eating well right now. But, still he cannot eating indiscriminately, he cannot eat chocolate ( to avoid cough), he cannot eating fried food ( to avoid any wound in his throat), and he cannot eat or drink anything warm or hot ( to avoid any burn in his throats) for more than 14 days. And with this dietary restrictions we ended not do any holiday trip at all. Just in my parents house only. Recovery time for my son and my bank account. Both need to recovery. But, thankfully for GOD that make this surgery happened (many miracles He shown to me to make this day happened) and thank God also for his fully recovery. And for my families that always supports. But, the first that i need to thank is my son himself. He is so brave, strong, and cooperative in this situation. I am really proud of you Son. And i am really happy right now he is not snoring anymore and he is totally free from sleep apnea and can sleep well in the night. And it will make me and my wife not to worry again in the night and can sleep well too.
And in the end yeah i am happy this is already ended. And i can sleep well and peacefully.
