    I would take the 20 yr old and leave the others at home. It's hours of boring waiting and they would be better off occupying themselves at home.

    My mom and my high-energy 11 yr old went with me. One of my coworkers met us there. She took my kid out for lunch to give my mom a break, while I was in surgery. A little while after the surgery I had enough of high-energy anything and asked my Mom to head on home with the kid.

    Lol! Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it. I think I will take my eldest with me.
