[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 158225, member: 1233"] If it is at all possible to have this done at a Children's hospital, I STRONGLY recommend it. I also recommend having the psychiatrist (with md) AND an occupational therapist consult iwth the staff, and you, for ways to help him through this. They may have to keep him sedated for a few days, I would think, esp if he is likely to rip out an IV. I think they probably WILL have to put a sock or some kind of cover over the IV site, because it will need to be in for a while (or it seems likely it would need to be in while he is in the hospital.). You might ask them to keep putting EMLA cream on it (prilocaine/lidocaine cream) to numb the area with the IV so it is less bothersome - IF he will be able to handle these medications topically after surgery.
