I would if I were you.. there was a misunderstanding on my second daughters chart when I transfered her, which I thought said they had given her a flu shot.. I was so pissed cause I said absolutly not.. turned out to be a typo but I was ready to call the lawyer too, you are the parent they have no right to give her any medical procedure or treatment with out your permission! <BR/><BR/>How frustrating for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321419430529817194.post-31449626601097195102008-06-16T08:36:00.000-07:002008-06-16T08:36:00.000-07:00Wow. So the doctor thinks you don't understand the...Wow. So the doctor thinks you don't understand the risks of a baby born by c-section not getting eye ointment? How arrogant! And what is so hard about understanding that THE number one best thing for a baby is breastmilk? What decade are we living in? It's not a comfort to say you aren't the only one going through issues like this. It's pathetic really, that there are muliple people going through these situations.

Other moms they helped me, no. I do know that here they can only give formula if the parent agrees in writing. Also, if you want a different brand of formula you can supply your own (or have the neonatologist write a script for the kind you want). I really hope that you can get Aybra moved to somewhere that they respect a parent's choices.<BR/><BR/>Hugs, you do not need all this extra stress.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858350553394138992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321419430529817194.post-81456484767857778952008-06-13T15:04:00.000-07:002008-06-13T15:04:00.000-07:00Oh my gosh, I'm actually angry for you!!! All of t...Oh my gosh, I'm actually angry for you!!! All of those things that they are doing are NOT right. It seems like they think that Aybra is their child and they are the ones that have the right to make decisions for her, you're just a nuisance that they need to get rid of- definetly not the right attitude to have. I think I would transfer her in a heartbeat if I could. Keep calling them on the things they're doing and not telling you about- you have that right. I hope you don't have to deal with them for much longer!Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06976824742522174973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321419430529817194.post-20062068123441570152008-06-13T14:59:00.000-07:002008-06-13T14:59:00.000-07:00Oh wow Khourt - what a total PITA.

I'd be very upset about not wanting to use breastmilk - especially with all the evidence that supports it's benefits, especially in premature infants. These kinds of stories make me so grateful that my girls were in a hospital that actually cared. They're afraid of a lawsuit for some reason. Don't let them roll over you and document everything! You're doing an excellent job - hopefully she'll be home safe and sound in your arms soon and this will all be a bad memory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
