For Children Having Surgery

How to Prepare for Your Child's Surgery

Please bring your child’s favorite toy, blanket, pacifier and sippy cup or bottle. You may stay with your child until he/she goes into the operating room.

After the procedure is done, you child will stay in the recovery room for 10-30 minutes while they wake up from anesthesia. Your child may be very irritable or disoriented due to anesthesia. Do not be alarmed as this is a normal response.
