make calls to the kids every hour. step outside and give them an update and reassure them. Come back in and turn off the cell phone.

I must ask my grandmother how she ever dealt with my grandfathers hospitalizations with 4 boys and no cell phones.

or how my mom dealt with her hospitalizations (being a single mom) or how she dealt with her mothers hospitalizations (she had liver cancer) with two kids and no cell phones.

It can be done and is not a nessecity.
