Hi @MothertoCRM and welcome to our community!
Have you had any word about when your son's surgery date is as yet?
You are definitely entitled to get in contact with your child's doctor, the surgeon or even the registrar at the hospital and discuss your concerns with them. I'd certainly recommend doing so if you are concerned in any way, shape or form at any point.
Sending hugs, please update us.
