Hi, personally, I won't be so keen to bring such a young child to the hospital but if it would aid in his recovery, I probably might. At the end of the day, it would really depends on several factors like which ward is your dad in (single bedder or multiple beds sharing?), what illness is he there for? (is it an infectious disease? or a physical treatment?) I would make sure that my child doesn't touch anything and minimize the stay to half hour and sanitize both him and myself thoroughly when we get home. Don't forget that we now have Skype and FaceTime which would allow him to see his grandson. Wishing your dad speedy recovery!
