[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I have a child with a chronic condition on her tenth hospitalization. [b]She's now 12 and has never been alone even for the time it would take to get coffee.[/b] 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] Wow, you're very lucky. My child was hospitalized overnight once when he was a toddler, and I had to get food from a cart in the hallway for the pediatric unit (his father was taking an exam that day - one that he could not miss unless it was life or death), and he screamed bloody murder the whole 5 minutes - MAAAMMMAAA MAAAAMMMMMMAAAAAA and on and on and on. I'm pretty sure that's when he ripped out his IV. Another mom tried to calm him down, but it was horrible. We couldn't not eat though. The child he shared a room with had a single mom, who had other children. She couldn't be there the whole time, but was doing the best she could.[/quote]
