The ER in the middle of the night is hell. I spent a night in the children's ER not too long ago with my 2 yr old daughter. Was heart-breaking and infuriating to see the condition of some of those kids.
Never been to Children's ER, but had to spend a week at Children's in 11. It was rough. Glad he's feeling better.
I almost said something to one of the parents. And I use the word parent very loosely. Scum would be more appropriate.
When Little Me was in the hospital, I was plotting a plan to kidnap a little girl on the same floor as him I felt so sorry for her because of her parents. By the end of the week, the wife was about 80% on board with me.
Been there. The night i was there, a little guy had green crap oozing out all over his face. I really don't even know what it was, but it looked awful. The mom wouldn't clean it off, obviously so he would look worse in an attempt to be seen quicker. Horrifying.
Hope all is well; I have three-month old daughter and couldn't imagine having to take her to the hospital.
