[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, that sounds stressful. I haven't been in this situation exactly, but I think some of my decisionmaking would depend on both the intensity of post-op care that might be needed, and also on whatever else you have going on (will you both also be attempting to work; do you have other kids that will be at the hotel, etc). I know there's often a lot of follow up and waiting around for a specific doctor to come by, depending on the situation. If that might be the case, I think it might be easier to have one parent there for the duration of the day, or at least "before lunch" and "after lunch" so that the person who contacted a nurse about when will dr. X come by is around to follow up with Dr X doesn't come by, etc etc. Also confirm with the hospital that they're OK with splitting the day among two parents. If they're testing each person upon entry they may limit visitors to 1 per day, in which case the parent who's "on" will have to be there all day.[/quote]
