[quote=Anonymous]My son is 15 and has severe ADHD / executive functioning issues. He had surgery that required general and was out for more than an hour at 4 months, 22 months, and 3 years. When he was originally diagnosed with ADHD, I did a lot of mental gymnastics if it was connected to the general anesthesia and the surgeries he required. Mostly the challenge I had was that the surgery he had at 4 months was done improperly and needed to be redone at 22 months. He needed the surgery - it was not a question - but I do kick myself more so in not being more forceful and trusting my gut when the Dr was saying things that seemed not to align with other information I read. If you are feeling uncertain and it is not urgent, go get a second opinion. My son is a really great kid - and also a teenager - so in the same hour he might tell me how horrible I am - and want to sit down and talk about some thing he finds interesting. [/quote]
