Dan has been on good form today telling me to ‘get out’ and giving me lots of kisses. Hopefully he is finally getting over the flu.
We have had lots of playing with Tom having Dan in floods of laughing. I think Tom is the only one who I’ve seen do that. Dan looks at him so adoringly, it so cute. Tom has been on good form too, we tend to catch the bus with the same bus drivers to the hospital and they seem to think Tom’s so adorable, if only they knew!
As I no longer go on PICU, my stress levels have halfed, I actually feel so much more relaxed. Now when I pick Dan up the nursing staff bring him to the main entrance to meet me. Yesterday however when I got home I was short of a couple of items which didn’t actually bother me as I worked round it. However I thought it was best to let them know so it didn’t happen again because PICU devised a check list to say we need these items so, so be it. The check list is filled out before Daniel is allowed to leave the unit and usually I would check it with them but now it is check by them before Dan can go. Well this is the opinion we had untill yesterday.
Apparently this morning a discussion was had during ward round about the fact I didn’t have said items and Daniels consultant said I should have check the bag before leaving. This is exactly one of the reason why I have stop going on to PICU because they refuse to take responsibilty for their mistakes, especially as I wasn’t acutally bother about it. His consultant also apparently said I should be going up there to collect him to which I had already xplained to them why I need a break from the nhs. If I was any other parent than Daniels, I would have’t to trust that I was given the equipment I needed. I should be able to trust I am getting the equipment I need. I am not taking responsibilty for this mistake as it is a nursing error not mine. Whilst this sort of passing the buck still continues, I would say to Daniels consultant not to expect me back up there in a hurry!
On a happier note, we saw one of the city nurses today, they thought Dan looks great. If only he remembered them as they had alot of time for him when he was on the neo natal unit.
