Yes & my church will prepride Daycare because there so many mormon churchs. The church closes to us are going to help us at the RMH.
Sounds like you guys have a good support group from you church. You are very fortunate. I'm glad you will be able to be up the road with Faith, and I'm glad Justice will be able to spend some quality time with his dad before his sister comes home.

How would YOU feel if it was YOUR baby up there? :bonk:
These medical professionals don't need someone tying up their phone lines every friggin hour!! They have more important things to do than answer a call every friggin hour from the same person!!

If I had an infant up there, MY azz would be THERE 24/7~!! But I would't have put myself in their situation to begin with.... :mad:

I understand that Mike and I agree with you. But you're looking for a reason to jab her and now is not the time.

You will have so much fun watching her change with every week. Some weeks she will look like you and your family, some weeks she will favor TWL.

What would be a good time?? When her sorry ass is writting the check for DSL? Or for the cigarette habit?? I don't need to look for a reason, she provides plenty just by posting!! What's she doing home on the computer & not up there with the child whose life she endangered?? If she was up there, she wouldn't have to call every hour and distract nurses from their important jobs.

Actually, the neonatal staff at most NICUs encourage the parents to call. They understand that parents cannot be with the newborns constantly, especially when they have other children or the mother is trying to recover from surgery herself.

My sister's son was born 2 months early at PG Hospital and was transferred to the NICU at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore. He was born the middle of July and remained in the hospital until just before his due date of September 19. My sister actually went back to work about two weeks after his birth so she would be able to take her maternity leave when he was well enough to come home and she was encouraged by her doctor and the baby's doctors to do this. She and her husband alternated visits and did spend a few hours each evening at the hospital and I went with her once a week. They also had a two year old who didn't understand all the turmoil and needed to be with her parents as well.

Hang in there, Tig. I'm hoping all good things for you and your family and hope you guys work to correct the things that you need to so that everyone will be safe and well cared for.

I doubt they want her there 24/7, Faith can't be overexposed to lots of people if she's going to get stronger. Also, the people who answer the phones aren't doctors, they're usually nurses at the nurse's station, and a part of there job is to keep family members informed.

You know as well as I do that there is a time and a place for everything. NOW IS NOT THE TIME! Just leave it be for now.

I'm her mother, Damn sure I'm going to see how my child is!! With babies you have to check alot or something bad could happen eazly!!


How can they watch the baby if they're on the phone with you?

Tig, don't call them every hour. They have a job to do and you're baby isn't the only one who needs their attention. I have no doubt you're concerned, but if you bug them all the time, you just make it harder for them to do their job.

Give them a break, don't call again until you're ready to go to bed. Then call again when you wake up in the morning.

Sorry for the delay in responding, had a phone call. Lets be clear, I like to deal in facts. The hospital encourages parents to call every hour on the hour? If I'm wrong, I'll admit it but I'm having a tough time swallowing that one.

That's great of your daughter and her husband Cat, alternating visits. That's how it should be. She went to work. :yay: Tell me, what job does Tigg have that prevents her from staying at the hospital? Why aren't her and TWL alternating? All her friends on here, surely SOMEONE would cart her back & forth? Sorry but this is something I am passionate about. I feel for the kids. They will grow up thinking this is normal. :burning:

Did you tell Tigg she had the wrong number?
