Thanks OP. That's great and helps to know a little of what to expect. I spent one day at Koo Wee Rup with DS2 but know this will be obviously different again. I like it that you were able to speak to a nurse and what you want and didn't want was accepted. I spoke to QEC this morning and they basically said that i'd go and leave her to cry 5 min at a time and that was that. Not very reasuring or comforting at all.

I understand what you're saying about being bored but the thought of just DD and I for a few days is quite nice for me I might even get to open a book and read more than 1 page before my eyes shut.

Thanks so much i really appreciate your help.
