Life of a child after an stretch out heart surgery. Please share stories.?

Kindly stated the age of the child when she was operate and how old he/she in a minute.


Answers:    My daughter had open out heart surgery at four months. Although it was alarming at first, she bounced back fairly quickly. Although near were no complications, after the sugery she be kept sedated on a ventilator for about a week. Probably to keep hold of her from moving around and disturbing the incision while it healed. She be also kida puffy looking, but that is expected as resourcefully. You will also see drainage tubes coming from the site, but that is to ensure that no fluid accumulate around the heart. They wont be there longer than a week and are monitored by the nursed to take home sure there isn't any problems.

I have surgery at three years old, I remember wake up and my belly hurting to sit up, but not necessarily in extreme agony. I remember post surgery walkin up and down the halls of the hospital and doing dutiful. In fact i be reading a doctors letter post surgery that said that i be bouncing all around the doctors department getting into things (a few months after) lol So i assume i bounced back rapidly too.

Every child is different though, some or more sensitive than others. But i personaly wasnt tramatized and I also remember there one a video arcade that we got to play near and i thought that was pretty cool. Amazingly the surgery be 27 years ago and I still remember bits and pieces, but i do not remember much torment. So that is a honourable thing.

I hope this help! Take care!
