Surgery Day Without the Scramble

Whether it’s a scheduled procedure or an urgent intervention, prepping for surgery can feel overwhelming, especially when your child has complex medical needs. mejo helps families stay organized, reduce last-minute chaos, and feel empowered through every step of the process.

Why Surgery Prep Can Feel So Overwhelming

There’s more to prepping for surgery than just showing up. From pre-op instructions and medication adjustments to emotional stress and logistical juggling—it’s a lot.

And when you're already managing a rare or chronic condition, questions come fast:

• What meds do we need to stop, and when?

• Who needs to be informed—school, therapists, case workers?

• Where do I keep the pre-op instructions, clear-liquid diet plan, or anesthesia notes?

• How do I advocate for my child when I’m exhausted and anxious?

  
  

“I used to have sticky notes everywhere—trying to keep track of surgery details, pre-op calls, meds, and follow-up. Now, it’s all in one place.”—Dana L., parent of a child with complex GI needs

That’s why we built mejo.

“After surgery, I was exhausted and couldn’t remember what the surgeon said about post-op care. Luckily, I’d typed it all into mejo during the update. Total lifesaver.”—James M., dad of a child with epilepsy
