[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] Hey OP. I'm the mom of a 20 y.o. who has had a chronic illness since she was 9. I'd guess she's been hospitalized like 100 times since then. I remember when it all first started and I would not leave her. I also noticed that other rooms were empty of moms and dads. Over time you come to learn that not everyone has 2 parents, not everyone has job flexibility. The families I have known who had to leave their kids were sad about it too. But health insurance requires money...[/quote]
