[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I have a child with a chronic condition on her tenth hospitalization. She's now 12 and has never been alone even for the time it would take to get coffee. I just get amazed each time I'm here how many kids are in their rooms totally alone. Little kids and babies. It makes me sad.[/quote] 19:24 here (the one whose kid's been hospitalized 10 times). Serious question, though -- How do you know they are in their rooms alone? I mean, often the doors are shut, and/or you can't see the entire room. Unless you were in a shared room? And it's completely fine to leave your kid to go get coffee. I used to go walk around the hospital for exercise, and eat down in the cafeteria while he was sleeping. The nurses would let me keep his milk and some other foods in a mini fridge down the hall. I often went to get those. 15-20 minute breaks. [/quote]
