If your son would prefer you there, then stay there, especially if the doctor agrees. You can spend the day in the hospital in any case and be near him. I understand your anxiety which is completely normal. Breathe. One day at a time. You have already organised the trip... Read more.

I will be there mid July. I found a nice Airbnb.It has a kitchenette, and is an 8 min walk to the hospital I thought the price was reasonable after checking hotels in the area which were much higher. Fingers crossed that it works out as well as I hope... Read more.

I had a good surgical outcome after my open heart surgery. I can say I didnâ€™t really want visitors all the time because then I had to think about what they were seeing and doing. Find out when you can be helpful or basically have fun, maybe meal times. Like... Read more.
