Caring For Child After Surgery

[UTGal99 327]

I have a 4 year old, rambunctious son who drives me nuts on a daily basis as is! I can't imagine tending to his needs post-op and surviving on liquids and very few calories. Anyone have any tips to make that transition a bit easier???

I love the boy but not looking forward to tough recovery days coupled with a small child.

I can so relate to your anxiety. I have a 8yo, 5yo, and soon to be 10 month old. Thankfully my 2 oldest will be in full day school and that will allow me to rest but my doc said that he wants me up and moving after surgery. He doesn't want me to lay around because he fears blood clots. I do plan on taking his advice and staying active while listening to my body. My husband works about 12-13 hrs a day, 5 days a week so he wont be that much help but I'm just gonna do my best. Good luck
