Less than a month to go til my baby undergoes cleft lip/palate and gum repair. had last appoinment as outpatient yesterday. Saw the ward where he will be staying - really depressing place, overcrowded, horrible cots. Dont think they have private/semi-private rooms so there will be 5 babies at one time and at night 5 mums keeping vigil.
Getting tense about the upcoming events. Dont know how Ill cope giving 24hr care to baby in pain. Any advice/words of wisdom would be appreciated. Also, where can I buy the good arm restraints as according to my husband, the doc said they use PLASTER CASTS over here. Can that be right? Sounds horrible. No soft toys in hospital....getting depressed just thinking about it.
Sorry for moan!
