I think I have some things worked out. My MIL and FIL are going to come up the week I am in hospital. They will take care of the kids, and the after school daycare kids. My DH is taking two weeks off starting the day I get out of the hospital. My mom is then coming after my Dh goes back to work. She will stay for about two weeks. Through this time the daycare will remain open for the after school kids. I am in the process of letting the full time moms know that I will be closed until January, for any kids under 5.
I am fortunate that my kids are all school aged. They are 15, 11, 7 and 6. They do a lot around here already. We believe that they are expected to pull their weight around here. They do laundry, vaccum,mow lawns, clean bathrooms and kitchens, and a lot more as neccessary.
I am also very fortunate that my DH is the cook. He is far better than I am.

Hopefully, all will be in order by the time I go in.
