>>The baby you describe MUST be seen by a physician who will listen to what
is happening. Have you called the physician yourself? I would document
everything thoroughly now if you haven't already using a "late entry."
(Better now than later.) Be sure you have mom's permission to share
information, and call the physician expressing your concerns.<<
Bonnie- Baby was seen by pediatrician last week; he asked mother to bring
baby back if any bluishness was noted. Since the situation has deteriorated
since then, I referred the mother back again, accompanied by a written
detailed report of my observations. I have just received a note from the mom
that baby has been admitted to a hospital out of town for a thorough
evaluation-- MD was worried after reading my report. I'll keep everyone up to
date on what happens next.
