Well, they have kept Grayson since Monday. I am trully amazed at this hospital this time around. The doctors seem to be ok but the rest of the staff is really lacking. They went to the ER in the morning and Grayson didn't get her treatments so they finally got a room around 8:00pm and still no treatments. Since we didn't know she would be admitted my daughter didn't bring her meds and they didn't have any on the floor so she didn't get anything but the vest that night. And to make matters worse yesterday a nurse came in with so much perfume on that it filled the room. How can anyone wear perfume on a pulmanary floor? And they ordered her formula at 10:00am yesterday since it is a prescription and they have to make it up but at 1:30pm it still wasn't ready????? She hadn't ate for a few days and was hungry and crabby.....I am so disappointed with the whole bunch of them. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever had problems like this and what they did?

That is totally unacceptable. Hopefully they will put their act together and be more organized. We rarely bring meds to the hospital since they normally provide it. I would report the experience to both the hosptial admin and to your CF team.

WHAT?!?! That is unbelievable!! Hospitals often will not ALLOW you to give you your own medications due to liability concerns... I cannot believe they did not give her the medication that she needed. She was THERE because she was sick; to not give her the treatments she needed so badly was absolutely unacceptable. And to have no enzymes there either I assume for anything else they fed her if they had nothing else for her meds? ...and no food? WHAT the #$%@>!?! Sorry, fuming right along with you.

I hope she is submitting a formal complaint to the higher-ups at the hospital. Unbelievable.

eta> it wasn't for a cf admission, but when Emily was admitted for 4 days once at Yale, I was going to give her some of HER meds because hers hadn't arrived yet from the hospital pharm and they would not let me. And with an admission Tim had recently in Boston, this even included a non-rx product included in the list of dr-prescribed meds Tim takes.

Our hospital & doctors encourage us to bring our own meds (enzymes, insulin, ABDEK etc) that we will need immediately when knowing we will be admitted.

It takes forever for the pharmacy to process the admission orders & send the things up.

I did try to bring my own seizure meds & that they wouldnt allow....I am assuming because it was a narcotic.

Although I understand the delay in the process....that doesnt excuse it especially when they went to the ER not expecting to get admitted. This might a learning lesson tho. Go prepared for the worst!

I would pitch a bitch about it. If the Nurses get nowhere, get ahold of their Supervisor &/or the Doctors or person in charge of the pharmacy. We are talking just a wee one not an adult that has the capability of holding out!
