Your child can return to school as early as one week after coming home from the hospital. At your follow-up visit, ask about the return to school. Consider starting with a half day and working up to full days.
We recommend keeping your child out of day care for at least two weeks, preferably four weeks, to avoid exposure to common illnesses, like colds and the flu.
Your child should not participate in physical education for at least six weeks, or until a doctor or advanced practice provider gives them the OK to do so.
