Need solidarity
My 20-month old daughter was admitted in the hospital 12 hours ago because of Pneumonia. She has a very bad cough and lost her voice. She has been crying ever since stepping in the ER. Nurse gets her weight and temperature, she cries. Even the sight of nurses makes her cry, probably traumatized after she was inserted IV. She hasn't slept properly because every now and then nurses get in for labs, for routine questions, and she has a wee bag too, and they had to put it again because it leaked. Now it's time for her antibiotic dose and when the nurse did the flushing, another nurse came in and said my daughter's hand is swollen so they need to reinsert the IV. It's not even 24 hours yet. To hear my baby cry so hard again already makes me weak. As someone who has an anxiety disorder, I panic at everything. This is just torture. I'm crying so hard right now. My poor baby.
