What should I tell my baby?

[Guest guest]

I'm going to transplant late in October. My son is 2 1/2yrs old and my

husband and I haven't figured out what we want to tell him. He knows

that Mommy is " sick " because I feel really tired after work and my

600mg of Gleevec cause a lot of pain and sometimes vomiting. So he sees

me resting a lot. But hes going to want to know where Mommy is while Im

gone...it should be about 3 months. Any suggestions? I dont want to

scare him when/if he sees me without hair in the Hospital.
