[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you for all the responses. Having a child undergo surgery during "normal" times is stressful enough, let alone during a pandemic. Aside from the actual surgery, I worry about DS waking up in a strange room with only one of his parents. And I worry about the parent that can't be by his side the whole time. To one of the PPs, I do anticipate sobbing and worrying and praying. How much harder is that when you can't physically be with your child, to hold his hand and watch him breathe? So, thank you, I was not asking for tv show recommendations or any fun activities. I was asking how others would handle having to be away from your child since only one parent can be with him at a time. 
To all the PP's with the kind words and helpful advice, thank you! You know how much helpful suggestions mean when someone comes on to DCUM and asks.  [/quote]

You sound like such a caring person.  Your child is blessed to have you.  I hope you can care for yourself too along the way.  Is there a friend, relative, or clergy you can plan on calling during time away from the hospital?  I'm wishing you and your family the best through all this.[/quote]

Op here. Thank you for your kind thoughts and words. We have some family members we will be in touch with to keep them up to date. And to the other PPs, thank you. I was looking to learn from your experiences and you've already given me a lot of help to try to mentally prepare for the next two weeks. [/quote]
