I feel so sad about what happened to your 2 years old kid. Seriously, i really don’t know if I will be able to keep myself calm after witnessing such horrific accident happening to my baby boy!! The chances of me panicking after securing my kid from the dogs are really high.
Your boy is an angel.. in the midst of all the chaos, he was still happy as if nothing ever happened to him…. Thank God, the surgery was successful. Now that he’s all grown up, I don’t think he’ll remember all this again..
Oh, he remembers every detail. And that's completely fine with him. He told on later visits to the doctor (where the doctors liked to keep mum waiting outside the door) that I was allowed into the operating theatre for the ‘really bad operation’ and that it had to be that way ;-)) He looks at the photos that were taken for the insurance company and has no problem with them. For him it's over, but not erased. We still laugh together about a scar on my shoulder: his injuries were stitched with KatGut, which dissolves itself so that no stitches need to be removed. With one exception: the fixation of the drainage bags. The doctor said that the pulling itself would be very short but very painful. An anaesthetic, on the other hand, would cause more discomfort for the child. So I took the little one astride my lap and the doctor pulled the tubes out of his head with a jerk and very skilfully. My son has always had great reflexes and bit my shoulder with all his might. Since then I know that human bites heal much worse than animal bites ;-))
