Post-Hospital Recovery Care

What's included

• Post-operative wound assessment and dressing changes
• Medication management — scheduled doses, pain management, antibiotics
• Vital signs monitoring (temperature, HR, SpO2, respiratory rate)
• Drainage tube and IV site monitoring
• Activity restriction supervision (post-surgery positioning, fall prevention)
• Nutrition and hydration support
• Identifying signs of infection, complications, or deterioration
• Communication with your child's surgical and hospital care team
• Parent education for continued home care after Alisha's engagement ends

Why discharge is the hardest part

Hospitals send children home as soon as they're medically stable — not when they're medically simple. The first 24–72 hours after discharge carry real risk: infection, dehydration, medication errors, and missed warning signs.

Alisha provides the clinical continuity that discharge instructions alone can't replace. She knows what to look for, when to call the surgeon, and when to call 911.

Common scenarios

• Post-tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy recovery
• Appendectomy discharge care
• Cardiac surgery follow-up (working with your cardiologist)
• Orthopedic surgery recovery (casting, wound care, mobility)
• NICU discharge transition support
• Serious illness recovery (pneumonia, meningitis, severe infections)
