Several reasons. He, and the kids, know/believe that once admitted to the hospital, she may never come home again. They are clinging to their wife/mother and afraid to let her go. The husband also probably has a lot of survivor guilt, watching his wife suffer as much as she has, and is punishing himself by insisting on being the one to care for her. This is probably caught up in feelings of guilt/fear about her dying and him raising the kids without her, perhaps idealizing the parent she would have been to them if she had not gotten sick and feeling his own efforts never live up to that image.

If she stays at home, it's horrible for everyone, including her, but it also means her kids get little moments with her before she dies. It means her husband can focus his time and energy on caring for her, which probably distracts him from really feeling the loss that is coming. Really think what it would be like to be in your house without your wife, mother, knowing she'd never come back. It would be crushing.

It's good the doctors and nurses are advocating for Roxy's wish to stay at the hospital. She is their patient. But the idea that her family is being selfish is unfair to them. They just want more time with her. They are afraid of losing her.

It's a terrible situation for everyone. It reminds me of two storylines from season 1 -- the kid who overdosed on fentanyl and was brain dead, and the struggle for his parents to commit to organ donation; and the story of the adult children of the man who was dying and their debate over whether to intubate him and then whether to take him off life support. In both cases, a family member had to make a difficult decision about end-of-life on behalf of their loved one, while also working through their own grief. The show has real empathy for both the patient and the loved one in these situations. It's one of the hardest parts about watching the show but also one of the most valuable things it does.

She wasn’t. It was a thin swaddle blanket which is totally ok. They mean thick blankets. Duh.

The cdc, nih, aap, and consumer protection all agree with me. What credible source says an infant can have a loose blanket around them as long as it is thin?

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), hospital blankets are safe for swaddling to keep newborns warm, but they are not safe for loose use in a crib.

The baby was not in a crib and was also being supervised.

Please educate yourself. Are you seriously arguing a baby in a bassinet has different blanket warnings v a baby in a crib? 🤦‍♀️

Second, the baby was not supervised the whole time.

Is this the same person who claimed “It was a thin swaddle blanket which is totally ok. They mean thick blankets. Duh.”

She needs to never use the word “duh” again to others.

Thin swaddle blankets are fine. It was not being used as a traditional blanket. It was being used to wrap the baby. Yes it was unwrapped and loose a bit in that scene but it still was not covering her like a regular blanket. The baby was crying loudly and there was someone in there. Typically babies are in a nursery and are supervised. Relax.

Baby was crying loudly and NO ONE was there until the pony tailed singing doctor came in after bay cried awhile.

Once again since you seem to have a medical issue prohibiting you either admitting there’s a mistake in the show or learning anything new about proper baby/bedding warnings.

Your first sentence is completely wrong if you believe that, a thin blanket that can be used for swaddling is fine to put around a baby in a non-swaddle way. You can have a blanket of any thickness in a proper, tight swaddle around a baby. But a loose blanket on the baby is not allowed when the child is under 12 months old when the child is put to sleep or in a crib/bassinet/playpen for any reason.

You look foolish.

I guess the cat’s got your tongue now that we’ve established you are 100% wrong?!

Also, what was the possible diagnosis of the obese guy? I didn’t quite understand what surgical was saying though whatever it was seemed involve a 50% chance of death.

Hot Jesse was in there most of the time.

Do we think this random guy who's supposed to be coming will somehow die in a motorcycle accident? I feel like that would be way too on the those, though.
