That's pretty significant.
Kinda the same thing going on here in Texas, the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, my 2 yr. old Great Granddaughter for the 3rd or 4th time she had a bowl issue where she can’t go to the bathroom for 6 to 7 days & hospital say they can’t admit her because of Covid that’s BS get them out of there, seriously, most of these Covid people got Covid because they won’t wear a mask because it’s their right or haven’t had the 1st Covid shot. Most are adults who can make their own decision & they don’t make wise ones. Now a little 2 yr. old or any little person, can’t sit down & have a medical conversation. My little 2 yr. old got so bad everytime that she was in waiting room she looked like she was in coma, she could barely open her eyes. No pediatric Dr. would examine her, all they said was bring her in next Thur. & that day was Tue. & this was in 9 days, she definitely would of been dead. She’s got to go to hospital again, the Dr. was suppose to see her yesterday but he must of got to busy to see a 2 yr. old that was in serious condition. We’re hoping he will see her today! PS: The last time this happened was last Mon. & while her grandmother (our daughter) was holding her she went all over her, it was like she exploded. Instantly after that she was her normal self. This can’t be healthy to happen once a week & it’s been 4 times. So who’s more important an adult with Covid that could of possibly prevented it or a 2 yr. old that scared to death because they think they’re going to be hurt & can’t talk to the Dr. So if TV hospital are short on staff they ought to take ALL children over adults everytime. Hospitals have got a problem & it’s not the people & 2 yr. olds that’s the problem. I think it’s someone’s problem a 100 times higher than them. I think we all know who that is. All we ask is having a Pediatrician take a look at this little 2 yr. old. Other Drs. don’t or must not have enough training to help her or say. So to get someone to look at this little girl or any little kid what are we to do?
