Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 My son Jon has misaligned eyes that he is having surgery on in October. I told him, but he has no understanding. I don't want to make him anxious and explain too much either. He doesn't usually feel pain and even though he is verbal, he is lacking in the language area big time. His counselor just pointed out to me that this could be a problem with the surgery. He might not be able to feel the pain to alert us of a problem and if he does feel the pain he may not be able to communicate that with us if he even understands what he is feeling since it would be something new to him. Have any of you had to put a child like this through surgery? How did you prepare for it? How did your child do after the surgery? Any advice appreciated. Thank you in advance. Jon is 8 yrs old and autistic with severe sensory issues. Jenni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
