I would really appreciate some advice as I'm just not sure what to think anymore.
We have been admitted into hospital since Wednesday after a sustained period of not eating or drinking (7 days) before for my child.
Since being here they say we are going to have to put a drip in, they get upset, they give them a chance to try drinking to prevent the tubes, they have a few glasses and we rumble onto the next day. Each day the same happens. Today they couldn't manage the drinking. They accepted a drip. Took 6 hours (of upset waiting for this to happen) for the doctor to arrive to do the drip. He said I don't want to give you an easy way out and I want a pinky promise you will try a small cup. And left. They can't drink it.
I feel like it's a total waste of time being here and there is no end in sight. I have children at home I'm missing it's frustrating being in hospital.
I will do anything to support my child but wondering what else I can do to support. The ED haven't made it round to see us yet but they're hoping they will tomorrow.
