Wesley's NICU

Someone posted a comment on my site about mud slinging Wesley's NICU. I have never had anything bad to say about Wesley's NICU. I loved my NICU nurses and Neo's. I have nothing bad to say about their NICU. I have NEVER been satisfied with Wesley's Ped's ICU. It's hard to take your child somewhere where the follow things have happened:



1.) My child once got his blood pressure taken by a cuff that had someone Else's blood on it.

2.) The Sat alarms would go off for long periods of time with no response. I stood in the room while my child turned blue and nobody bothered showing up. I was told that she was kicking her feet too much and the monitor wasn't picking up correctly. So, an assumption was being made about the reading without even checking on the child.

3.) My son was losing weight and when I checked to see how much they had fed him for the day (and this was late in the day), he had only been fed 120 cc's total for the whole day. When I asked why, I was told "they didn't have time to feed him".

4.) My daughter was put in a crib that had not been cleaned. I know this because it was the bed my son had been in 3 days earlier. His hospital sticker from another hospital was still stuck to the bed and the throw up that he spit up was still on the rail where it was before his dismissal.

5.) They continue to put my daughter's bouncy seat on the hospital floor, then the put it on her clean linens, then they lay her on the linens without changing them.

6.) When things fall on the floor, they just pick them up and throw them back in the bed or on a shelf to be used later.

7.) They left soiled linens at the foot of my childs bed (in her bed) for the entire day. The next day, I threw the soiled linens under the bed on the shelf. They remained there until I finally asked the nurse to dispose of them.

The unit feels and looks filthy all of the time.
