Hi everyone, I would love to know your opinions on this. My DD, has a gastrostomy (feeding tube in her stomach) and therefore we need 6 monthly replacement of her Mic-key button, and also always need to have spares at home in case of emergencies (we have had 2 of those so far, her beautiful but curious little brother kindly removed it from her stomach twice...)
My HV put in the order I requested for 2 Mic-Key buttons and she turned up with it about 2 weeks ago all smiles, basically I have just read the "delivery note" that came with the supplies, about 2 weeks later (Lots of other more important paperwork, tons of other stuff, a high maintenance DD and a just turned 3 yr old, so I only read it today!)
Anyway -I saw this footnote on the faxed copy (or copy of the fax, whatever) "Discussed order of 2 mic buttons Gemma (MY HV) says mum quite disorganised so prefers 2 spares - have agreed to order it this time but explained policy..." there are a few more words but it's a fax copy and some has been lost!
I thought it was obvious why two is better than one, but what gets me is the comment from my HV. My house is not tidy a lot of the time due to 2 pre school kids and storage problems but I am obsessive about hygiene, and if anyone quizzed me on where anything important was (1st aid stuff, anything to do with Catherine's tube etc.) I can find it in the blink of an eye!
I don't feel I can trust my HV to be on my side...
I feel betrayed.
