Gentle Christian Mothers Community - View Single Post - Helping a child detox from general anesthesia

This thread is super old but I want to clarify some things since it was pointed out to me that it might be confusing.

What dd had wasn't actual general anesthesia- it was completely different meds, mostly ketamine. The anesthesiologist didn't bother to weigh her before administering it and overestimated her weight by 10%- not sure if that matters (I did report him to the state licensing bureau but he was cleared of any wrongdoing). I will never do in-office fake general anesthesia again. She continued to throw up and be unable to so much as hold her own head up for about 12 hours after "surgery". She subsequently got up and ate a normal dinner and played normally in the evening and has been fine ever since.

A year and a half later, ds needed dental work (we have genetically terrible teeth) and he was only 2. We went to a hospital and the GA worked great- we took him home awake and he was running around (maybe a little lopsided) an hour later. So I've learned my lesson- always go for regular GA, not in-office sedation!

Anyway, just wanted to update and clarify so I'm not freaking people out unnecessarily.
