[quote=Anonymous]When I was 12, I had to be in the hospital for 3 nights (for the first time ever). My parents went home to go to sleep around 9PM. That seemed perfectly natural to me. I felt well cared for and wasn't worried. And my parents definitely loved me. When my 6 week old had to have surgery and a 3-night stay in the NICU, the surgeon told us when we scheduled her surgery that there was no way that we could be at her side 24/7. It just isn't possible or healthy (and they only had 2 rooms for parents to take turns sleeping and would probably be booked). Did I ever leave her side? Yes, but only to get 6 hours of sleep and a shower while my husband stayed with here. So, like all things, I think it depends on your situation and the personality and age of your child. [/quote]
