Poor Baby

I made the mistake of telling Jack that I will have to be in the hospital at some point for bedrest. I didn't think he'd understand enough to be upset but that it would prepare him a little. I was dead wrong. He now cries whenever I leave him at daycare. He sobs and carries on, won't let me leave the room, stretches my shirt out and then lies on the floor wailing. I have started to tell him the plan for the day "I'm going to drop you off at daycare and then I'm going to work. After work I'm going to pick you up from Taekwondo." I say, "Am I going to the hospital?" he says "No." "Where am I going after I drop you off at school?" "Work and then pick me up at Taekwongo!" (that's what he calls it, TaekwonGo.) So I don't know what else to do. He acts terrified that I'm leaving. I guess he usually calms down quickly enough once I'm gone but I'd like to get him back to normal. Any ideas?
