Nc as this maybe outing
I'm am currently sat in a hospital 100 miles away from home with my dd who is on her 2nd round of chemotherapy for a cancer.
We have been here since Friday and will be going home Thursday (fingers crossed) before Friday we were at our local hospital because she developed a infection in her hickman line so needed iv antibiotics, we were there for 4 day before being transferred to the hospital we are currently in
The hospital has imposed a no visitor policy because of the rise in covid cases locally. There are signs around the ward we are on telling everyone about this but it also says that we can ask for emergency visits on a case by case basis
I asked this morning if my dh would be allowed to come see us tomorrow as he didn't come see us at the local hospital because we kept being told we would be going home that afternoon only for them to change their mind last minute, we were also supposed to going home from currant hospital tomorrow but they have extended it to Thursday because she needs extra chemo this time round.
They have said no because it's not a 7 day stay in hospital, even tho all together we would have been in hospital 10 days split between the two hospitals ( we were transferred by ambulance because of the risk to her).
I will run out of clean clothes tomorrow, so he will be coming tomorrow anyway as we have no choice but I will have to meet him outside and he won't be allowed to see our dd.
How is this fair, I get they are trying to protect the hospital and the nhs and we have followed every covid guideline to the letter, we do lateral flows 3 times a week and literally only leave the house for hospital appointments, food shopping and school runs for younger 2 dc (dh works from home and I am on leave to look after dd).
Aibu in thinking this is totally unfair, it's a hard enough time as it is atm being separated but they now won't let us even have an hour together

So sorry you’re in the position but the hospital has to act to try and protect it’s most vulnerable patients. I can understand why they’ve taken this decision.

Good luck with your treatment. Flowers

Sorry, her treatment not your.

Yes it sounds terribly unfair and very hard on you all.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 01/11/2021 17:16

So sorry you are going through this. But at the moment with COVID etc, 'fair' doesn't really apply.

They need to protect both staff and patients.

If you need clean clothes, could your DH just bring them to you tomorrow?

I hope your DD responds to treatment.

I agree with purple, they are trying to protect everyone by limiting footfall, on a ward where by the nature of the treatment patients will be even more vulnerable it’s all the more important.

Hope the treatment goes well and your back home soon.
