Hi
My 15 year old son, John is having spinal fusion from T4-T12 with thoracoplasty. I am starting to stress myself out. I have not gotten him slippers and a robe (which were on the list from the hospital). I don't know what he really needs and dosen't.
We live in Iowa and his surgery is taking place at Gillette Children's Hospital in St. Paul Mn. He is a patient of Shriner's, but his surgeon prefers to do this procedure at Gillette. So, my disabled hubby is going to be staying at the PAC (parent accommodation center) at Shriner's and I will be staying with John at Gillette. I will have to drive back and forth between the two hospitals to transport my hubby.
I am worried about the car ride home...about 250 miles. Any tips or tricks to make this more comfortable for John would greatly be appreciated. I would appreciate any advice at all. John goes to school tomorrow and then is done for the year. He will have a homebound tutor when he is up for that.
Well, I am rambling, but like I said I am a stressed out wreck. Any words of advice?
Thanks for listening!
