YOU are his mother. Get hubby to bring you pedialyte and try that at a feeding if need be, it MIGHT help. IF he still is retching, CALL YOUR DOCTOR on the hospital phone, let me clue you when you call a doctor and they are awaken in middle of night cuz nurse not doing what needs doing THINGS CHANGE! LOL you will become known as THAT ROOM! LOL anyway call and ask for iv fluids so he does not dehydrate when feeds need to be held. I would also demand they show me how to set the oxygen up. waiting 20 minutes when you baby needs oxygen is nuts and a horrific experience. It should be in his room ready to go at a moments notice. <br /><br />PRAYING and sending big hugs for you and much better nursing staff today!<br /><br />hugs<br />TamiTami and Bobby Sisemore Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187334120592808316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865733752789195615.post-4896029078614816072011-02-12T11:13:19.914-05:002011-02-12T11:13:19.914-05:00Beth, I am so sorry that this is such a battle for...Beth, I am so sorry that this is such a battle for your precious boy.

And on top of that, so many times, people are just doing things by the book...as in when x happens, you do y. Without thinking of each situation as different from another.<br /><br />I have a diabetic son who was in the hospital for surgery and they tried to stop him from using his INSULIN PUMP because that is "self-medicating" and they need to be in charge of every medication he takes. The surgeon was well aware of his diabetes and of course didn't expect him to go off his pump. He was very frustrated that the nurses didn't know to let him be.<br /><br />All of that to say, I just think many times they are "following a set procedure" instead of individualizing patient care. I'll pray for the right person to be Manny's advocate on the staff.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06623173562670672706noreply@blogger.com
