Hi all
thought I would let you know what has been happening to my nephew Joe
he is now 12 weeks old
last week Gemma was feeding him (through the tube) he was really sick this went on for 3 feeds Gemma had to take him to the hospital where he was admitted
Gemma had to go home to see to her daughter but was back and forth all the time
one day she had a sick bug her-self so couldent go to see Joe
my mum and sister went in to see him (it was in the evening) when they saw Joe he was covered with sick (which had gone stiff on his baby grow) he had pulled out his feeding tube and his nappy was full (that to was hard)
my mum asked the nurse when they had seen Joe last the nurse said only 20 min ago (mum knew that was not true) she then asked the nurse to give Joe a bath the other nurse told mum to do it her-self
that was it my mum went nuts so did Ann
they took photos of Joe and the state he was in they reported the ward the next day showing the photos to the one's in charge
the nurse did see to him after mum calmed down like she said "the poor little thing has been through so much in his short life and he still has much more to go through "
Joe is now home
but we all are so upset with the way a baby was treated I just hope the nurses do not have to go through the same thing with there children
sorry for the rant but it has really upset me

That made me cry!

I am glad they took photos, they must report this to the Head Nurse and Dr on the SCBU team.

Poor baby Joe! I am still keeping him in prayers, bless him.

We had an issue with Marie whe she was born preemie...they had put in a tube so after I breast fed I could add more milk through this tube in her nose. Through bad communication this tube was taken out too soon and so she had to have it put back in again, and then it happened AGAIN! She ended up with a mark on her little face from the tape and was very distressed indeed, as was I!

Love,
Amanda

This really uspet me too Mary - it's unbelievable. Am so glad Joe is safe and is home but do wonder how many other babies are suffering at the hands of the nurse/s who don't appear to give damn. I think you should send the photos in to the hospital management team.

Mary I was so sorry to hear what poor little Joe had endured. It was shocking and neglectful. Had it been any one of us that had done something like that, the social services would've been called immediately. I know that hospital staff are overworked but it was obviously not the case with Joe.

I'm really glad that he's home and well and you can be sure that he'll be better cared for by loving parents. Bless him.
