Hi All
I am mummy to a very lovely little boy. A very healthy and enthusiastic, sociable and wonderful little boy... Who happens to have some pretty major issues with his heart. Issues which need fixed very soon - by way of open heart surgery.
I've always thought that I was going to be able to be by his side 24 hours a day during the hospital stay, but have just been told I will have to find alternative accommodation while he's in intensive care and high dependency. I don't know what I am going to do - he's 7 months old and I've never been apart from him for more than a couple of hours. I can't imagine leaving him behind in hospital to go to a hotel room.
So, I am hoping to build up a few friends on here who can help distract me while we are in hospital.
Anyone else out there with a child with congenital heart defects - or who has had surgery?
