That's funny, but that gas does smell pretty bad...lol. Let him know that he

can talk to the anesthesiologist ahead of time and request a flavor be rubbed in

the mask to make it smell good. My kids have both been through multiple

surgeries and tests where they had to be sedated and while they don't always use

if for the younger one because he can't speak up (literally) my 5 year old likes

it so much better knowing it will have a nice smell. I know this isn't really

important I just thought I would let you know if you talk to the

anesthesiologist ahead of time they can work something out. If you don't get

him before though then he may not have the flavors available. Just a suggestion

to make things a little more comfortable for him if in fact he does get another

CI, or anything for that matter that requires general anesthesia. It's just one

of those stress reducers for the kidos.
