its about continuity of care. t...you know paul...<br /><br />its about continuity of care. there should be a plan for maggie and the various elements that make up her care should be following that guide. that guide should be written as a collaborative document by her specialists and then followed to the letter. you are her parents should have a say in that process and should demand no less than perfection. we are talking about a human life here. she is not just a number, and you are not just worried parents. this is all of course, my own opinion, but i hope you see where i am coming from. <br /><br />i want nothing but the best for you, shannon, and of course alice and maggie. you deserve to be upset and in my opinion should demand no less than perfection. <br /><br />i hope that all makes sense.<br /><br />bob in texasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634443036491852586.post-15349319152807302992009-11-17T10:32:27.473+00:002009-11-17T10:32:27.473+00:00"Some Nurses are fab, others aren't"..."Some Nurses are fab, others aren't". Yep from all the tales I get from Juni this is the long and short of it. You get Nurses like Juni naturally caring and worrying for patients in her care and then a strong section of nurses who don't really give a shit. They think they are doing a Tescos job and most likely that's all they are good for. Try and stop the one or two who you think have some empathy and concentrate on them to watch out for Maggie.<br /><br />Can you setup a webcam or other remote device next to Maggie?<br /><br />RussellxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634443036491852586.post-68686148042039391222009-11-17T09:23:56.440+00:002009-11-17T09:23:56.440+00:00Hi Paul and Shannon,
Just a quickie...again! I had...Hi Paul and Shannon,<br />Just a quickie...again! I had the same feelings about care given to boys, particularly Tom's positioning as I was convinced that they weren't moving him consistently. I asked for a couple of extra columns to be put onto his cares/observations sheet to record that things were being done consistently at regular times. It's was impossible to get regular/consistent staffing but I felt that they were more likely to do the things required if they actually had to sign off on a piece of paper. Ridiculous, I know. Some Nurses are fab, others aren't, and it doesn't help that the system itself puts immense and unworkable pressure on them at times.<br />Good luck!<br />Much love<br />Helen<br />xxxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634443036491852586.post-47702351237441092342009-11-17T03:39:11.130+00:002009-11-17T03:39:11.130+00:00Don't get too ticked off at Shannon....but I d...Don't get too ticked off at Shannon....but I do think that you have every right to get negative about the care Maggie is getting. It can't be that difficult to just get in a damn routine of giving her tongue a wiggle or arms and legs a shake. And for any dimwit nurse who can't do that, well maybe they shouldn't be in room 2. I say we get cousin Jen over there and shake things up a bit!<br /><br />See you in SIX days!!!!<br /><br />Xoxo Mary and BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
