Children Visit
For those of you with young children, did they visit you in the hospital? My DD is 5, she understands about the surgery and has even started making me cards and gifts to take so I will be "cheered up."
The hospital has a special bariatric ward, so I am not too concerned about her being exposed to staph or other hospital germs.
Would you do a visit?

My kids are 3 and 4, so a little younger than yours. I am not going to have mine come visit. Even though they will understand when I tell them where I'll be, I don't want them to see me in that hospital bed and be afraid that it was worse than it is. At that young age even though they 'get it', I think it's a whole other ball game when they see you. Total personal decision, but I have decided against it.
Nope! It was 2 peaceful, quiet days for me to learn about my new insides. Love my hubs but he was nervous enough without having to deal with the boys!!!
That said, they are used to me being gone. I work night shift and often don't get home until 10-11am (around 16 hour shifts). I then go to bed and repeat. So me being gone wasn't that much an issue.

My son is a bit older - 8 years - and he did come visit me. He also called me and text me on his ipad. He really missed me and I really missed him! I would definitely ask on your daughter's behalf. :-)
