Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 We just went thru this on Monday with tte - she had pnemonuia last week (no hospital stay)- then Sun night she was throwing and diarahrea all night - called the Dr in the AM and they said bring her to ER - to make a long story short - I DID NOT HAVE DR H's ER protocol - ER DR never heard of RSS - they started the IV - for about 7hrs - then said we could go home - tte was holding down ginger ale????? - I tried to explain that I really was uncomfortable with her not eating anything solid - and not sure if she could hold it down...they sort of looked at me like - WHAT - they said I could stay for a while longer if I wanted - but there was no reason to admit her........so we came home - fortuntely = things are ok - she is eating - but that is not the point - I am going to get the ER letter from MAGIC and keeping it with me at all times......I was so frustrated - I was trying to explain things - but - I guess I didn't get across to them how IMPORTANT it was for tte NOT to leave...a lesson learned on my part....fight, fight, fight....... but she is eating so I guess no harm - I hope. later mom to tte 9yrs - gh - gtube......
