If everything goes to plan, DD2 will be discharged from hospital a week on Wednesday. She will have been in hospital for 10 weeks. However, her consultant's secretary at the children's hospital has just rung me and said that the consultant would like to see her on the following Thursday and Friday for tests which would mean she had to stay in hospital overnight. The children's hospital is also a two and a half hour drive from where we live. Now, I'd usually just take her for the tests - I appreciate that they're important, and I know that she'll need to have them eventually. _But_ I'm not sure whether I want her to spend another night in hospital the day after she's been discharged. I think it's unfair, because she's very excited about coming home. I also think that she'll be exhausted, and I'm not sure how she's going to cope with the drive. So, do I just go ahead with the appointment, or try to re-arrange it?
