[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s with the histrionics about telling OP to switch hospitals? For a term baby, no less, who was about to ge discharged. OP is looking for reassurances and sharing your own bad Sibley experience is completely unhelpful. So is telling her to switch hospitals. The person she needs to be speaking with is the neonatologist (note that the Sibley neonatologists also work at Georgetown, which is a level 4 NICU, so if a transfer was needed they would have done that).

OP I know it’s scary but you need to get more information from the neonatologist. Be a mama bear. Ask the questions you came on here to ask. If you don’t feel reassured or better, tell them. If you want a second opinion, ask. If you’re worried about taking him home, ask what you can do if this happens at home. Talk with the nurses and get their thoughts about his condition and what they think. Don’t hesitate to advocate for your child. I know it is scary and intimidating for your child
To be in the NICU but the doctors and nurses caring for your baby are the people best equipped to help you.[/quote]
