My 3 year old is due for surgery at the end of next week to remove tonsils, adenoids & to fit grommets in both ears.
The operation has been cancelled twice due to Illness. I’m planning on keeping them home from nursery all next week but my mum thinks I’m over reacting and that I should just send to nursery as normal. I have twins and my plan is to keep them both home for the week.
if you or your child were having surgery would you isolate beforehand? There has been no advice given by the hospital, they don’t even do a covid test anymore.
YABU - yes you are over reacting
YANBU - no totally sensible
AIBU?
Would you isolate child before surgery

My mum reluctantly agrees that to keep off my DD who is having the surgery but to send my other DD to nursery at usual.
I personally think that’s totally bonkers.

My LO had the same surgery earlier this year (and being postponed due to illness). All of us isolated beforehand.

What's it got to do with your mum anyway? Does she have to look after them? If not then I'm not sure why she's so bothered!
I would keep off as it's already been cancelled twice because of illness and a third time would be really irritating for everyone.

I isolated my son for ten days before he had this op, and that was before covid. It was so so needed I just couldn't risk it not happening.

Oh that’s good to know. Hope your LO was ok? How was their recovery?
surgery is on Friday next week and we haven’t left the house since Thursday and don’t really plan on. The bank holiday makes it a little easier.
