[quote=Anonymous]I would alternate on three roughly 8 hr shifts. 7 AM - 3 PM, 3 PM - 10 PM, 10 PM - 7 AM. Whoever does the night shift isn’t going to get a lot of sleep so it’s good for them to be able to take off and get a nice long nap in, then have an uninterrupted night the next night. It’ll definitely go more smoothly if you are able to rest yourselves. The one with him tries to keep him occupied and deals with nurse/doctor communication. The one who is out uses as much time as possible for sleep and does some family updates, research on any questions that arise, aftercare prep, and get whatever you need prepped for the next shift (snacks, things your son might want/need). But do try and rest and don’t run yourself ragged. Tip: use email during the night and not texts for non urgent updates, so the person taking over in the morning has the full story but isn’t interrupted at night. Good luck — I hope it all goes smoothly. [/quote]
