Hi Jerry,

The best way probably would have been to have your son accompany you to the surgeon's visits, so he could hear for himself and ask any questions. If you have any further contact with the surgeon, try to get your son on-board (accompany you). If not, ask the surgeon to have a talk with him to bring him up to speed. Then the two of you can sit down with your DIL, and eventually, either the two of them, with or without you, have a talk with the grandkids.

Doc
