remain with hospitalized patients, even overnight. I had to be very pushy about this a few years ago, when my daughter was hospitalized. They were telling me there wasn't room enough for me, because of the roommate, but I knew the hospital's own "Bill of Rights" says that a family member is allowed to stay in the room with a patient. So I sat in a folding chair half in and half out of the room all night. The next day they discovered that there was a single room available after all, big enough for me to stay with her from then on.

You and your hubby must be utterly exhausted though. I hope one of you can go home and get some sleep.
