Is husband "needed" while recovering in hospital?

SrMonclova

I ask because i have a two year old that needs to be tended to but i'm not sure how much help or support ill want or need during the hospital stay and want to make appropriate provisions for my toddler with family.   All this time i was thinking of leaving him with grandparents while at hospital but now wondering if husband shouldnt be helping with him instaed of sitting pointlessly in a room w me.   Just curious on past experience or thoughts.  Thanks.
