DAY 5 WITHOUT A SHOWER

I hate this! I swear these people should all be fired! We got a patient advocate. The dr ordered more labs. Poor Madison! I was like do I have a choice... No of course not but if it will get us out of here... So they draw more blood. Poor baby!!

So they said we can go home if she eats. Except she threw it up 2 times. They checked her levels and we are back on the fluids again. They told me they were so low that we were to add bicarb to our fluids. The IV went bad because they did it in a bad spot so they had to do it again.

I was so mad this poor girl has little poke holes and bruises all up her arm. What are they doing! While sitting here there is. Code PINK... Apparently they LOST a baby. So no one could leave.

I want a safe place for Madison and decided it was her room. They are not allowed to do procedures in her room. I don't care she needs somewhere where she feels safe because she's scared of anyone who walks into the room. So they took is to the procedure room try 3 different times. Cannot get an IV supposively because she's too dehydrated but I think it was because she's too small. They called in someone from NICU to help. First try she gets it in her foot. Poor thing an IV in her foot.

While in the room they have a code RED on the 3rd floor some spill in an OR... Then they had a fire somewhere. You have got to be kidding me.

So poor Madisons exhausted. They bring in a patient advocate to be aware of our treatment. So tonight shift change they tell me she's not to be on bicarb fluids because it's a typical dehydration case. No it's not! I was so mad! So here we are she's worse and all we want to do is go home.

I hurt everywhere. So tired and so frustrated. My friend had her baby today here... I hope they are having better luck than we are. At least we got a shower today and changed our clothes. That was great! Poor Madison needed a bath.
