[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 602264, member: 1514"] Hi and welcome. Honestly if this were me I would opt for the surgery even though he is terrified of the doctors. They can give you medicine to have him take before you even leave the house. One of my kids was terrified silly over the dentist but they gave him something really good before he even left my house. By the time he was in the dentist chair he was pretty much out of it. I wish I could remember the name....I think it was chloryl hydrate and it made him pretty much completely loopy. He rarely remembered he had gone to the dentist. Now I dont know how long your son would have to be in the hospital after the surgery or if it is a same day procedure. Either way I would have one BIG treat for him when he wakes up. My youngest had major surgery at 4 and was in the hospital for 5 days. He could only use one arm for about 2 months after the surgery so we had to find things he could do other than video games. I cant remember everything we did but he got a new toy each day he was there and we took him for rides around the hospital in either a wheelchair or the little wagon they had on that floor. [/QUOTE]
