I posted this on the teen board

okay I need to vent and I hope u guys dont mind

cams doing exceptionally well but this is the second day there like oh he will be coming home tommorrow, I dont want to sound selfish but I want him home now I dont want him to think that the nurses are his mothers. So anyways I got my hopes up cause he was supposed to come home today and their doing it with me again I want to cry I feel like I dont have a baby I wake up at night sometimes and I think im hearing him cry buts its bs im balling right now cause I really really miss him.

My husbands a nurse so it not like we dont know what were doing and its not our first child plus I would bring him back if anything happened again I dont know what the hell to do im so doing it lost and I just want to health forum at someone anyways ive tried to relax had a glass of wine but its not helping ~~~cry~~~

I'm sorry to hear that. I know you said he had rsv and was put in icu and you said they took him out of icu, did they not give him his own room?? My son had rsv and was put in the hospital and had to have help breathing and had tubes all over him, but once they put him in his own room I was allowed to stay with him. I hope he gets better soon so you can bring him home

Oh jess I understand where you're coming from...It must be really hard for you and the rest of your family to be away from cam :( but I think its better for him to stay there until he's really well enough to come home to avoid frequent trips to the hospital and although abel is an experienced nurse its still different when your surrounded by hospital equipment and they could randomly check cam's progress.
I know it is frustrating for you not to look after him but you'll have all the time in the world as soon as he's really well.
I and the rest of the castle would always be here for you.

Luv ya

Anna this is the thing (i know u have med training too)

it just bloody annoying they said if all his stats would stay norm for 24 hrs they would keep him another day just to make sure and I could bring him home with prescriptions for ventolin. Anyways its been about 55 hrs and hes doing fine hes feeding meeting all the requirement but peps said we may want to keep him in there another day and I just found out peps thought it was best that he does stay in there so anyways I dont get a choice in the descion and im really doing it pissed I want him home and when hubby gets home there is going to be fireworks hes medical question pushed me too far now im his godamn mother its not like hes with cam all day long what an @$$!

i think these are one of the few odd situations were you gotta put your feet down on peps the least thing he couldve done is to hear you out and comfort ya but back to the hospital business, normally when its an infant they especially if its concerning the respiratory system they keep em for at least 72 hours when theyre stable just to be on the safe side and also to save their a$$es prob if the illness persists they could easily say that that they have had observed cams b4 they considered putting him to oral meds. I know you're having the ump coz you feel like you're losing so much time away from him and like your intuition says you could look after him. Just give it one more day and if they start saying they need to keep to them for another day you could always make a complaint and take him home at the end of the day you're his mum.
