Staying with your baby

Dawn's comment reminded me of something I meant to ask - does anyone

know if I will be able to stay with Caton (he's 13 months) while the EGD

and colonoscopy are being done?

I'm torn, in one way I want to be with him, in another I don't know if I

want to see him like that.....but if it's not even a remote possibility

of me staying with him, then I guess I won't have a decision to make.

Anyone know?

Don't feel bad, Dawn, I too usually sob when he has blood drawn, it was

so bad last time I had to order the phlebotomist to get the needle out

of his arm and get out of the room. Of course, with tears streaming

down my face all the while - didn't I feel like a hormonal mess! The

jerk was really screwing up and I was not going to put both of us

through all that misery! Even though Caty's the one getting stuff done

to him, those procedures take enough out of *me* that I was not putting

up with incompetence!

Anyway, back to my question - has anyone stayed with their kids during

these procedures?
