get it out before she pops 2

Following on from aibu to take dd3 to a&e

You know what, I don't even care if this gets deleted. You're behaving like a fucking bitch Perfumed. YES, nothing about her DDs care has seemed to be very good over the past few days, which is exactly why she is keeping pushing, pushing, pushing, to be taken seriously, to get her DD properly reviewed, to get this issue sorted. The OP is getting support and help from many posters that have given her the strength, or a new angle to try, to ensure the safety of her child. Just fuck right off with your "fight to the death" bollocks, because that's exactly what OP is doing right now.

OP, I had an issue as a child that was persistently ignored by my GP for ages, he kept fobbing my mum off as a neurotic mother possibly because she was a nurse, and he thought the whole "little bit of knowledge" thing. After what felt like forever for her she snapped and demanded something be done and literally refused, REFUSED, to leave until it was taken further. Scans showed a serious issue and I was whisked away pretty quickly to a specialist hospital for further treatment. GP had the grace to phone my mum and apologise.

So behaving like a fucking bitch in mumsnet is this "Oh aye get the next thread before you get your child to safety." after reams and reams of supportive comments and flowers got that child nowhere? Fine, I own that. I couldnt give a shit if that seems harsh to the poor op, but someone has to snap her out of her misguided trust in the fucking doctors. The op is not my concern, the child in the picture has to be the priority and giving words of comfort and encouragement to the op has not resulted in real help for the child. I hope with all my heart the child is getting real help as we speak.

And Barbie1 is spot on, it't the professionals who are letting her and her dd down. I know all too well of how they can do that.

OP how far away is your next nearest hospital?

If they are going to continue being so negligent I'd be seriously tempted to take her elsewhere. I had to do that when my DD(13 now) was 5 and walking out of the hospital with her went against every instinct, but I'm convinced if we'd stayed she'd be dead by now. It wasn't bowel related, but the hospital nearest our house then treated us like it was nothing to worry about despite every klaxon going off in my brain and her clearly getting worse.

Good luck.

When I was a kid Northampton general was awful. I had appalling care there and I was 11 so capable of speaking up. I had to beg for pain relief with an ear abscess and a broken arm. This was many moons ago though.

If you do get sent away I'd go to another hospital I think. And if Leicester are better equipped that at least sounds like a plan.

I'm so sorry though.

This comment only makes sense if the OP stayed at home blithely stating that she was sure everything would be OK. She's been in constant contact with her GP, continence nurse, children's ward, 111, and consultant. WTAF else are you expecting from her?

I hope your dd gets the help she needs and you get peace of mind OP. I can't believe what you've all been through. Thinking of you

Mae, just popped over from the other thread. Really hoping you managed to get some bedding at least for your poor dd. Fingers crossed for her

Can OP contact Leicester RI directly, does anyone know ?

Take the names of all the hospital personnel you have spoken to regarding your daughter and the time. Make sure they know you are making the recording and that legal action will be pending against the hospital and staff, should an adverse event happen to your daughter in the meantime.

You should get some prompt reaction from this. It may make you unpopular, but the priority is your daughter.

Forgot to say that you could also mention the media. I'm sure there is a current affairs or call back radio jock you could call and mention the problem to. Hospitals hate that.

I hope you've not posted because you and your DD are asleep and settled.

If you're still not getting treated properly then I agree with others, try a different hospital. Just go to the Leicester emergency care department.

What sort of a ward would leave a 3 year old with no bedding? That's just plain mean. Takes 2 seconds to give you some sheets even if they don't have time to make up the bed.

You're doing great.

Thinking of you both

How are things thins morning?

Hope all ok

Hoping something will be getting done pronto to sort your poor dd out xxx

OP I've been reading this and feel so awful for you. Northampton general (if that's where you are) is not a great hospital with care that isn't good at all and I speak from personal experience and from many others. If you're unhappy and still not getting some getter fast the Horton in Banbury is absolutely excellent. It is run by the JR and so you would be referred there if needed. I don't know about Leicester but that sounds like a good option too.

I feel awful that you're going through this, you're not doing anything wrong and now I see where you are its all making sense ! X

Just checking in mae, hope you managed some sleep, you must be exhausted.

I have been following your awful journey with your DD. I have nothing to offer other than my hope that she gets treatment soon which will offer her relief and that she comes to no harm.

Just woke up and first thing I've done is check how your dd is this morning.

So many people are thinking of you.

Stay strong OP

Just adding my support! You are doing great, Mae!

Really glad you are finally on a ward with your poor dd.
I know the hospital And was working there when the incident you mentioned happened . As you know the family you will know that paediatrics were not involved. It was also a few years ago and from the operating room - to the ward changes were made.

The ward you are on I know well.
And yes do complain , your treatment to date has been appalling .
Fingers crossed today will be better X

Me too. I hope with all my heart your DD has had some proper help and that you're all getting some much needed rest.
