[quote=Anonymous]Have had 3 kids in the hospital for stays, two in the ICU, all age 3 and under, but it was for illness, not surgery. (Had surgery last week on our 3 yo, but outpatient).

Honestly op, I am the DW and I wanted to be with my DC all the time, and I was, other than 30 min breaks in the morning to freshen up and the evening around dinner when DH would come sit instead. DH was fine with it as long as I kept him in the loop and he got to visit twice a day. In the cases of being in the ICU, I was insanely stressed and worried for the first 3 days, and then DC started recovering, but it was a slow recovery so stayed a total of 7 days. I was super bored and tired of the room by the end but still wanted to be the one to be there and not DH.

My DCs mostly slept when they were sick, and only why last 2 days of recovery they were feeling well enough to need to be entertained. I was bored and stressed and could keep my mind on reading books or movies until the last few days.

Wishing you and your DC the best, OP!
