[quote=Anonymous]OP - my DD was in the PICU as a baby from 3m until 10m and one of us was always with her or (as much as possible) her twin at home. I agree - it is terribly sad to see how many kids/babies are alone and I know - KNOW that any patient - even in the 1 nurse 2 patients ratio of the PICU receive less care and that us being at our DD bedside allowed us to quickly catch medical errors. I know we were 'lucky' to be able to be there for her - if being lucky is going into bankruptcy (which we had to do) but we would make those sacrifices again. We never left our older kids for their hospitilizations and I took turns with my siblings and sometimes hired help that my mother was never alone either. Hospitals ask so much for the staff and they are pushed to their limits to the point that we were both told to never leave DD/parents alone by staff (this was at Childrens, Sibley and Suburban.)
