What should I do about Tuesday.?

Question

On tuesday September 2. My four year old son is having surgery. He getting his tonsils out. I had ask the doctor if he be coming home the same day. He said why not. That I really thought. I don't know if he changed his mind. The hospital where he having surgery called today to tell me want time his surgery and want time to be there. And when when want time he not allowed to drink anything. I know after midnight he can't have anything to eat.. They said overnight clothes. So I had asked them are they keeping him overnight. They said yes and the doctor want to do 23 hour observe after having surgery. I called my mom to figure out with the babysitting overnight with my 6 year old son. I told my mom want they told me and we should just drive two cars. My mom told me not to worry he might go home the same day. But I can't just thing her anything. If they doing 23 hour observe then he would be staying over the night. She would need to come home anyways. She wouldn't be able to stay at the hospital. Because I am staying overnight. I have to deal with my oldest bus ride to tell them where he be at. I know my mom wants to be their for the surgery that fine. But if he stays overnight I be there and I would want to drive home when they discharge him. If she drives and go home I be stuck up there till she drives up there which I don't want to do. They kept him overnight when he had his adenoids out. I had to wait someone next day to pick him and me up. I think it would be better for me to drive my own vehicle. She might lost her job but she does have money. I could give her 20 that would get there and back home. Should I think ahead that he be staying over night no matter want. Or you think they send him couple of hours later.. His surgery time at 8:40 in the morning. He would be overnight if they kept him 23 hours.. Thanks

Answer 1

Take two cars so you have no worries.  You're mom so just handle it.

Answer 2

I would take two cars and not stress about this anymore.  No, you don't know if and when he will be discharged on the time and date the doctor gave and so it's best to be prepared then stuck at the hospital trying to figure out how to get home and relying on somebody else to get you there.
