Yes, but I was going to leave at 5:00. Am I the bad son if I don't go until Friday? My brother is still going tomorrow. He had already cancelled a business trip and arranged to be off the rest of the week.
No, I don't think that makes you a bad son at all. Actually, from the experiences with Grama at the hospital, I noticed that *everyone* thought they had to visit the first day or two - and after a couple of days - when she finally felt better enough for company everyone would think they'd visited so no need to come back. This has since made me think that spacing out visits from other people could be more welcome.
