My son has Autism, so sedating was an absolute necessity. I was totally freaked out at the thought of my son being given drugs, a)that I was not in control of giving and had not thouroghly researched, and b) not being in the room in case he woke up or, heaven forbid, something went wrong. It came down to the fact that I had faith in the nurses and techs in our hospital. So if it comes down to it, have faith. That's my advice.
