Can't wait to get to NICU and tell those doctors what for!

Im so angry i honestly cant even speak without crying! The doctors told us on friday that Matthew was ready to go home, but just to be extra safe they would wait till saturday morning to discharge him. On saturday morning during ward rounds hey decided he needed just 24 more hours and then he could go home, and this morning theyve decided they need to move him to 4 hourly feeds rather than 3 hourly so its going to be a couple of days! im SO angry! why tell us hes coming home if he isnt??? Its just evil. And WHY if he needs 4 hourly feeds didnt they change him to that on friday when they first wanted to keep him in 24 hours? Its been a nightmare getting anyone to tell us whats going on, he were told he had an issue with his heart and it took 4 days of constant nagging for us to see a doctor to tell us whats wrong. When my daughter was in they were fantastic, this time round, i dont trust them with my son. They are massivly understaffed at the moment which i know puts strain on everything, but theyve just been a nightmare! for three days now ive got up thinking 'my babys coming home today' Its starting to feel like they arent ever going to let him come home. He isnt on any monitors, he has no tubes, no wires, no medication. I cant see what they are giving him that i cant at home?? I'm just so cross, and so fed up of false hope.

I feel your pain hun. We had a similar issue - they did a sleep study and said we could room in after.

And them, after the 24 hours.... they discovered the forgot to put the probes on :dooh: It mean we had to wait over the weekend before we could do it again, I was gutted, i don't think they realised just how much they were playing with our emotions!

huge hugs, i feel you frustration!

I understand completely. They kept making up every excuse possible to keep my oldest longer -- his discharge day would come, and his Doctor would decide to wait until the next day, etc.
