When you get to the hospital, you will need to check in. You will sign a surgery consent form if you haven’t already. Before you sign it, make sure all your questions about the surgery have been answered.
Make sure you have:
Insurance cards or forms
A list of any medicines your child takes regularly
A list of any allergies your child has, such as from medicines or certain foods
A list of special diet needs, such as for diabetes
A favorite toy or blanket for your child
For babies, a bottle and formula or pacifier for after surgery
Something to read while you wait
