get it out before she pops 2

[littlemaemae]

Following on from aibu to take dd3 to a&e

Hope she's had a good night

Last thing we heard they were in the assessment bay waiting to be seen by a dr. Not on a ward.

Sorry haven't read the previous thread but have you already tried contacting PALS, OP?

Hope things are ok, OP. I can't believe this is still going on, beyond shocking.

Make an absolute pain of yourself, often you get to the front of the queue just to shut you up! It seriously works in the NHS (I've worked there and seen it in action). Those that kick up the biggest stink get sorted out first.

Get onto PALs, go to a different hospital if you really need to. The priority is your DD and absolutely not any embarrassment you might feel or the risk of annoying staff, or making a fool of yourself.

Keep pressing that buzzer all day if you have to.§

Morning.
We didn't get to sleep till near on 4 and we are freezing!
Dr came and told me we just need to be patient.
He said he can't garuntee no harm or risk like you can't garuntee anything in life, he would leave his own child in this position or an adult and I asked if we have to wait until she is a megocal emergency ie sepsis until they take action and he said yes.
I imagine they will come and try to send us home in a minute X

The paediatric assessment unit is all part of the larger ward at the hospital Raggae.

Checking up on you and LittlestMae this morning. I think you're doing an amazing job taking care of her. It's REALLY hard to stand up to doctors and other HCPs and you've been reasonable with them and you've kept going too. Quite incredible.

I'm just hoping your daughter had a poonami on one of the less supportive ones overnight..killing two birds with one stone so to speak.

You're doing so well, really. You're such a good mother.

What an awful situation. I can't advise but sincerely hope that today brings much needed relief for you all

Cross posted. Can you go to the other hospital recommended today? Just drive straight there?

What a very 'helpful'doctor no she cannot be left like that don't give up or take her to another hospital ....if the meds she has been prescribed have not worked then there must be something wrong....you poor you and your dd.

Is this the little girl with the swollen tummy from the thread a few days ago?

My god that doctor from your latest post sounds Very caring OP (not)! I would be furious.

I watched your last thread maemae and I'm so disappointed in the care your DD has received. Getting to the end of that thread and moving over to this one, I'm also disappointed that a certain poster feels the need to put you down. I can see that you have done everything you can.

I don't suffer with anxiety, but I still sit at home sometimes with a sick child dithering over whether I should take them somewhere. I remember sitting at home with my 5 week old DD who was crying in pain and laboured breathing. She had been seen by the GP an hour earlier who had said it was a virus and she'd be fine in a few days. I posted on a forum at the time, because I trusted the Dr but my gut was telling me it was something else. The resounding "GET HER TO A&E" from the posters on that forum gave me the back up I needed. As silly as it sounds. I needed to be told by someone else, "No, this isn't right". Because we are meant to be able to believe our Dr's when they tell us everything is OK, it's not serious. DD ended up in hospital on oxygen with bronchiolitis for days.
I hope that the people on your thread gave you the confidence to know that you weren't overreacting. Because, really, that's all a stranger on the Internet can do. Is provide support and encouragement and a listening ear.
Perhaps perfumed is a bowel expert who has pull within hospitals and can get your DD sorted straight away. Because other than being able to offer practical help, I don't understand how offering anything other than hand holding and flowers will actually be of use.

You obviously don't need 'tough love'. It is obvious how much you are doing for your DD, don't let anyone make you think otherwise. Bar hijacking the xray room and doing it yourself, there's nothing more you can do. Just keep fighting. You're doing brilliantly.

Maemae, the doc you saw will be Registrar level at most I imagine. There will be a Consultant on call, refuse to leave before they've seen her and made a treatment plan,one that you agree with.

This is all just so awful, really really hoping it's all over for you all soon

BOLLOCKS would they leave their own child like this

I second what mrsfizzy said.

Seriously OP do not leave without a scan or x-Ray. Even if it is only to reassure you that DD can pass this blockage and also to know where it is. Stand your ground. Be the noisy difficult customer. It doesn't matter. It's for DD.

Poor wee thing

Delurking to say you are doing amazingly - hang on in there and agree with the others who have said to consider taking dd to another hospital?

You are doing a brilliant job but stick your heels in and refuse to leave until you've been seen by someone senior. It's ridiculous you need to do this but looks like the only way forward. Sending hugs hope your daughter is managing to rest poor thing

Incidentally Mae, your updates on the two threads will help you later to construct a timeline of being fobbed off and what you did, if you need it. Keep that in mind.

Morning littlemaemae. I hope you told the doctor to shove his "patience" right up to his ribcage!

I would second the idea of getting your dd to another hospital. Can your il's have your older dd so that you can DH can take little DD together?

I also agree with the poster above, get the full names of everyone involved in your daughter's care. I would also insist that you have a copy of her notes before they discharge you.

I am so sorry that your dd and family are going through this. It is barbaric.

I hope you both get some comfort soon

If the little girl's gut is twisted, as a previous poster , apparently a doctor, suggested, it's not a blockage that can be passed.
