Hubby at home with 9yr son.

Evelyn • I am currently 29 yrs old have been married 9 years and we have an 8 yr old son and expecting our little girl.
If anyone can give me suggestions on how to deal with being in the hospital for an extended stay and the hubby being home with our 9yr old. Should I have him bring my son to stay for a while and not just visit so dad can run chores or is it better to just let him handle things? If anyone has gone through this and can offer suggestions it would be appreciated.
