Lori’s story from A Day in Motherhood is a reminder that an urgent situation can quickly become emergent when it comes to handling the health of newborns in a speedy manner and having them be taken to a correct facility that specializes in pediatric care.
“Because at the time I was ill informed and had not made an emergency list of places to take little ones should an emergency arise. I didn’t have NightLight Pediatrics on my list, taped to the fridge and ready to go to when my child had a major medical issue. Because of that I caused her undue frustration and pain. I also learned that not every emergency room or urgent care clinic is the same.”
“They finally called us back after what seemed like a really long wait considering the waiting room was empty and, after hearing the story, said that Sarah was severely dehydrated and needed liquid pumped in through a needle. The problem? They did not have pediatric needles. Nor did they have a pediatric doctor or nurse on staff. Despite that, they told me they could help and proceeded to poke my screaming 2 year old with adult needles over and over again until I finally put a stop to it.”
