From SaveCharlotte.com:
Charlotte is continuing to get stronger, but today there was another set-back from the hospital. Though she spends most of the time in her oxygen box, she had been slowly introduced to nasel cannula for the past few weeks; going up to two hours a day, split up into two sessions.
Darren and Debbie loved this new advancement– she was more alert when she was on them, and certainly easier to hold and stimulate. But today they found out the nasal prong machine had been removed, and on inquiring, that the hospital had decided to stop giving her time on it. No reason was given, simply "it hadn't been a success".
But why not a success? She did so well on them!They may mean well, but right now it is difficult to be anything like certain.
If the hospital believes your baby does not deserve to live, will that affect their decision making?
When will there be any accountablity?
It's pretty bad when you have a hospital withholding information from a mother and father regarding the treatment of their daughter, but I am sure it is a hell of a lot worse when that same hospital has no interest in saving her life in the first place.
From Wikipedia:
Sphere: Related ContentThe nasal cannula is a device used in the hospital or at home to delivery supplemental oxygen to a patient or person in need of extra oxygen. This device is a plastic tube which fits around the head of a person and a set of two prongs which are placed in the nose or nares of the person. These prongs are where the oxygen flows out of. To get oxygen through the nasal cannula it has to be hooked up to a oxygen tank, portable oxygen generator, or to a wall connection in a hospital via a flowmeter. The nasal cannula can have a flow which ranges from 1 liters per minute to 6 liters per minute. There are also infant or neonatal nasal cannulas which use flows of less than a liter per minute, these also have smaller prongs. The oxygen percentage ranges from 24% oxygen to 35% approxmately.
