Dr. Galloway & Linda Wilkerson, was the GI team for the care of Jacobi Finch Children's Hospital of…read moreAlabama. We had an appointment, they said his LIVER was not looking good they wanted Jacobi to come to the Hospital , stay one night to get a change in his TPN, milk, he would need to stay overnight to see if he would have a reaction. We went we stayed overnight . They never said his KIDNEYS were bad. We stayed overnight , the nurses on 9th floor read his charts which were wrong for some reason, gave him double the amount of medication 3 different times, we went home ,I didn't know til he was sleeping for hours. I went back to the ER the same night, the ER sent us home, every should be good. I talked to Linda for the whole week. That Saturday I took Jacobi back to Children's, and he was dying. He was put on Dialysis, never had Kidney issues, he was in so so much pain at the hospital for 2 months, they sent him home with a blood clot the size of a grape fruit and didn't tell me, I found that out when he went to UAB. He stayed there in ICU a month on a ventilator. Then from there he went to Palliative Care, to pass in peace. I begged them to let me bring Cobi home, we did he died in my arms on Nov- 3rd 2019. My son was happy , fine when we went for the over night stay and died in my arms months later. They never told me that he was dying, they never told me he had bad kidneys, He's been in their care for over 10 years, why not tell me he's dying, why not tell me his Kidneys are bad?why did he needed stay? What was the effect of the new TPN, what was the effect to the drug overdose? What was the effect of the 300 mg of new meds y'all gave him? What was the affect of the dye y'all put in his body the morning of his stay for a scan?How do a child go to an appointment, not sick in the last year? Been thru so many surgeries and came out Blessed, die after he's Overdosed, on his own meds? Oh why was this amount even in his chart? Why didn't the pharmacy and nurse see it's was a very high dose? The end result is my son is Gone and they say he was going to die anyway??? We all are going to die, but you didn't have to rush it he was a child, he is my child, my son and he's gone. They know when Jacobi came to the First appointment he was fine, the next appointment he was fine the 3rd ER VISIT HE WAS PUT IN ICU, and all they say is he's health was deteriorating, could you share that with his Mother, months ago?No they did not. They are smiling in your child's face acting like they care but they are just numbers to these Dr,'s. I live with, I never should have took him, but as a Mother, I had to do what was supposed to be best but what I thought would help him, took my Child from me, and my life will never be the same. I was supposed to protect him from the Dr.'s that was supposed to help him. I live with that, but not my Son.
Children's Hospital, Birmingham Al. Dr. David Galloway and Linda Wilkerson and the whole GI team. 10th floor remember his smile.
