I know exactly what you mean! We have an All Children’s Hospital about 20 minutes away and we don’t hesitate to take our 4 children there at the blink of an eye. I’m glad to hear that little Kelsie was doing better after the IV. One of my children had a little girl in kindergarten who had terminal brain cancer and died a few months into the school year. The young girl had come to school for about the first month and then just couldn’t make it anymore. It breaks my heart even thinking of little Gracie and her poor parents. I couldn’t even imagine the horror they went through. At least our children have come home to get healthy again, this we are truly thankful for.

Our family has been in that situation, not with children, but with older adults. We knew they weren’t getting the care they needed at one hospital and needed to go to the other one here in town. I’m so glad we did switch older relatives to the other hospital in the town we live, not once, but twice. I truly think if we hadn’t, there would have been needless deaths of our precious ones.

I feel that this is the hardest part about being a parent as well. My daughter has been so sick before and really there was nothing I could do but cuddle with her. This especially rings true when you do not know what’s wrong with them. My daughter used to have breathing problems and it scared the crap out of me. I had her on the nebulizer, but sometimes it did not seem to work. I hate being scared when my child is not feeling well. You never know what it could truly be. And with this H1N1 thing going around, that definitely scares me the most when I hear about children who have died. I do hope she feels better.
