Nurses..

Usually the nurses here are fantastic but every now and again we have an issues.. Dylan's nurse today has been absolutely useless! I understand he doesn't act poorly on the outside and that they don't always get time to fully read the pages of notes but to not even look at the basics is unacceptable!

It took 4 hours to get him to xray after they called for him because she was 'busy' doing the most trivial things. Then it took nearly 4 hours again to get the air humidifier that was requested by respiratory, again for no real reason!

And it has just occurred to me at nearly 8pm that his pain relief was missed off at lunchtime, now yes I should have noticed sooner but Daddy has been here too and we have been back and fourth doing things whilst there was two of us.. Thank heavens he obviously doesn't need it but he was a bit grumpy and had a 3 hour nap this afternoon and he was acting distressed when he woke up, I just calmed him down and tried to give him sweets to cheer him up. If I'd have realised he didn't have pain relief in his system I would have asked for it as it's when he wakes up it seems to hit him like a wall as his body relaxes..

Fuming! Can't imagine Daddy will be happy tomorrow when he gets back, he already lost his rag at her once today!
