In case you missed it, I did ask the question, "Do freepers feel it right that the parents had no say in whether the hospital should revive her, even if they are just prolonging death and suffering?"
Do you not feel that an important societal isue?
To: riley1992
Thank you for your prayers.
To: f.Christian
And sorry about your sister. I am sure she is looking out for ya.
To: Greybird
Don't you have anything better to do?
To: viligantcitizen
Thanks...I have a total of nine sisters---I'm temporarily missing # 2 and 4!
Prayers!
I have three brothers too!

"Do freepers feel it right that the parents had no say in whether the hospital should revive her, even if they are just prolonging death and suffering?"They do have a say. Did they request that she not be resuscitated? If so, you should let the doctor or nursing supervisor know that an error has been made. If not, and that is the parents' wish, they should make it known.

I think their may be restrictions on "no coding" a child under laws protecting children with disabilities. If someone could enlighten us, it would be useful.
To: viligantcitizen
VC, Prayers offered for all concerned. This is so sad.

Thanks. I hadn't thought of that, but you might be correct.

"They do have a say. Did they request that she not be resuscitated? If so, you should let the doctor or nursing supervisor know that an error has been made. If not, and that is the parents' wish, they should make it known. On Wednesday afternoon, the Dr. informed Darryl that she had zero chance of surviving more than a few days.
On Thursday, after watching his daughter crash and be shocked back to life, Darryl talked it over with the family, and everybody was for asking for a "Do not recusitate" order.
But, the hospital staff informed us that according to Georgia Law, the Dr. has the say on a newborn.
Finally, today the staff said they would not attempt to revive again.
To: AFVetGal
Thanks Jen...
Mercifully, yesterday the Dr.'s said no more attempts at revivng.
She will be with her Great Grandmother and Aunt, soon.
To: viligantcitizen
This must really be difficult for all of you. I wonder why, if the doctor had already stated she wouldn't survive, he held off on the order not to resuscitate?

A call for prayers.

"This must really be difficult for all of you. I wonder why, if the doctor had already stated she wouldn't survive, he held off on the order not to resuscitate? Yes, this has made a bad situation, worse.
Even though we have been given a few, precious, extra days. Kaitland has had to suffer. The Lord has made His decision and all the Dr.s were doing was prolonging death. Saturday, they gave a "DNR" order.
I have pondered this point a good bit and ran it by my ex-wife, who worked in a neo-natal ICU for 8 years.
She, like I, had no explanation.
To: shuckmaster
Thanks for the Prayers and the pings.
You are a gentleman of the highest order.
To: viligantcitizen
I am praying for your family and the sweet little babe.
To: grammymoon
Thank you grammymoon. God Bless.
To: Greybird
Ahhhh, so you're one of the infamous whiners of FR. Nice to meet you.

Prayers are being said for the baby and her family. If God chooses not to heal her, He will take her to Himself and she will be in a better place.
