Newborn has a brain condition, and has constant apneas. They've been Juggled around wards. Moved to a Neuro and Cardiac ward for our 3rd admission in my little ones short month they've been alive. Baby stopped breathing overnight 7 times and needed CPR at home. After 5hrs of being admitted (after spending hrs in emergency, and them being in a bad condition) I went for a shower and came out and all their monitors were turned off.
I’m in here with them to be monitored as they have seizures and stops breathing at night and has oxygen desaturations to 50%. I urgently said to staff outside why are the monitors off and they said they turn the monitors off over night. Which I believe is a lie, and very unsafe! I was discharged from this ward only 6 days prior and they don’t turn the monitors off over night. They also turned my baby’s monitors off three days before they were discharged as I was concerned about their tachycardia as their heart rate was resting between 160-200bpm.
