We struggled with this one with my nearly 4 year old son last fall. we told him only 1.5 days early and were pretty lighthearted about it. For us it worked out since we had to wait 3 hrs beforehand and it was nice that he wasn't stressed (oh, and i was 38 wks pregnant and a wreck). tips: dvd player with new video, lots of chocolate for parents during the wait. in all it went well--he was scared very briefly in the OR. He refused most pain meds afterward and was back to normal really quickly. their tiny metabolism is so quick that they process the anesthesia fast. be prepared for constipation, which was our worst problem--and in the scope of things not a terrible problem to have. you can email if you have any other questions--but it sounds like Lil G is a slightly different creature. Best of luck to you!! I am pretty amazed by his reaction!

Will he have to stay overnight or can he come home right after? I hope it goes very smoothly and that his recovery is quick and easy. Will he have to stay overnight or can he come home right after?

I too hope the hospital tour is successful, hospitals that offer tours for children are usually very attuned to how to make the tour fit the child rather than the other way around. Hope all goes well, will be keeping all of you in my thoughts Gatito how very smart and aware he is.
