Re: KYLA E>R> want to vent, wanna get mad with me?!?!

[Guest guest]

Hi , I am up late and just read your post...I feel your

pain and empathize with your frustration!! I am so sorry you went

through such a struggle at the hospital. We shouldn't have to go

through such great lengths to get adequate care for our little

ones...and when they ask you questions like that it's so

condescending!

I will keep you all in my prayers tonight and I hope Kyla is doing

much better tomorrow. We worry so when they won't eat because it's

so important! If only the doctor's could realize that. Hopefully

it's just some but that she's already recuperating from and will be

quick on the road to recovery.

Hope you feel better venting...it always helps me! Good luck

tomorrow, keep us updated.

Take care and try to get some rest,

hey stephanie!!

i had this happen to me last winter with christopher!! he had roto

virus and i took him to the ER because he couldnt keep anything down, i

even had the magic rss pamphlet and they still wouldnt do anything.

they sent me home and told me to stop worry so much!!!! luckly he too

stop vomiting and started eating so i didnt have to worry about it.

get carbs into her and as much fluid as possible!! sometimes drs

really suck, they all think they know everything and dont like being

told by a lay person what should be done, even though you know your

child and their DX better than them!! (HUGS))
