<p>My daughter had to have surgery Christmas break of her freshman year and I would wager that your daughter will regret not being home. However, I know it is tough to get a 20 year old to change her mind 
You are a good mom for going - she is definitely going to need you. My daughter thought she was going to breeze through it and was surprised that recovery was so difficult. She went back to school in January, but still needed some help. It was a tough term! Feel free to PM me about dealing with the school. My daughter’s college was very instrumental in making sure she had her needs met.
Good luck! I hope she has an easy recovery!</p>
