what to expect when waking up from circumcision |

My son who is almost 2 is having problems and will be getting a circumcision real soon. They say he will be put to sleep to do the circumcision. My question is, what do expect after he wakes up and what do I pack for the stay at the hospital. I was very little the last tiem I had to be put to sleep and I dont remember what my mom brought and how I felt when I awoke. Does anybody have any ideas or has anybody had any children who have be put to sleep to get a operation done?
My son kyle was circumcised at age 5 and lochlan at age 2. when they woke up - at first they are a bit groggy and not quite with it. when they are a bit more awake they want a bit of comfort as they can get a bit upset and be unsure. the hospital will want him to have some thing to eat before he leaves the hospital. just comfort him and try to put his mind on other things. if he has a favourite toy or something take it with you. I found the hardest part to be afterwards with putting on the vaselin and baths. just keep up the panadol and comfort him the best you can.
