Hang tough and stick to your guns! If your D is like mine, she will rather recover at home with mom. My D16 gave us a scare in December. I got a call from the school nurse who was convinced she had appendicitis. I took her directly to the E.R. and four hours later they discovered that she had ovarian torsion-----her ovary had twisted over itself 3 times. They were able to do emergency laparoscopic surgery to untwist and save the ovary. They said another hour and the ovary would have been dead and they would have had to remove it.
I told my H that I was taking her to the E.R. and kept him posted with any news----kept thinking he would want to be there with her, in case they did have to do surgery. He waited to come to the hospital until they made the decision to operate, so he didn't get to see her before she went under. When it was all over (6 weeks later) I commented on how our relationship was affecting how we parent (and we need help!)-----and I was quickly told that he wouldn't have come any sooner anyway.........which I don't believe. But anyway---she's all healed and fully recovered (recovered at home).
I know your D will be feeling better soon too! Probably a bit longer recovery given the shape her appendix was in-----so she will need and deserve a lot of TLC!
