K.T.
My son, who is 10 years old now, has had the hernia surgery in the groin on both sides. He was an infant when he had these surgeries performed. I remember being very scared also. He came through like a trooper. It is aganozing I believe more for the parent than for the child. Once he was in our arms all was well. Ahhhhhhhh the healing power of a parent. One thing to remember........if you are scared the baby will feel it so try to do relaxation breathing prior to letting him go for the surgery. One thing we did when he came out of anesthesia was to massage his scalp and body and talk quietly to him. He remaind calm whilst waking up. Please take care...I will pray for you and your family.......K.
