What to do in the hosp? You need something to distract you during the op and for that day/night when they are dopey and just sleeping.
Otherwise you need things you can pick up and put down quickly as needed as docs, nurses, visitors, child demands interrupt everything.
I took my cross stitch and a book, and the kids' school work for marking! Being a private hospital you can look at what's on tv and plan some distracting viewing too - but once she's feeling better - if she's anything like my boys it'll be Cartoon Network all the way! I did use that to get what we needed with N - if he didn't drink x amount in y time then the cartoons were turned off until he did. Worked well and the surgeon commented he'd remember that for other kids!
