Great ! More Barney!

The nurse assigned to us informed us of the change in schedule for our son’s hip dysplasia, two hours before his scheduled operation! From 1pm, we were told that it will be moved between 3-5pm as the anesthesiologist had a prior commitment and will not be done prior to our schedule. They should have told us earlier as we were waiting for hours already, not to mention our son’s constant cries for food and milk as he was not allowed to eat or drink anything since seven in the morning. To make matters worse, we were told that it will be moved the following day so we can follow the required schedule of 6 hours. Talk about delays!

As we were fuming in our room caused by the delay, we looked on the bright side of things. There will be more time to watch his favorite videos - Barney, SpongeBob Square Pants and Dora the explorer. Importantly, we’ll be able to spend more time with our son and discuss with him regarding his hip dysplasia and the reason why we’re in the hospital. We were in a good mood after that. Our son? He had a better one after knowing that he will be able to eat and drink his milk already.
