Hi all,
Today is finally the beginning of the legal proceedings for my daughter against the hospital whose emergency staff's negligence left her severely disabled for the rest of her life. It has taken over 5 years just to get discoveries started so hopefully it will go okay.
Long story short.... my daughter had the flu at 14 months old and was having the febrile convulsions which are actually common in small children. We were told to take her to the hospital and as i look really young, I felt like I was being dismissed as an overbearing teen mom looking for attention or something. They sent my child to the waiting room where the convulsions started again. We went back to triage but they said I was imagining things and sent us back. About an hour later, she went into a grand mal seizure in the waiting room. She seized for 90 minutes and was left in a coma. when she came out of the coma, she was unable to anything. She went from a walking, talking child to a child who is unable to sit, walk, talk, feed herslf or anything. She is now almost 7 and still needs an adult to do everything for her.
Just wish us some disney magic...;o)
