Had a daughter admitted into the PICU, and the only advice I'd give to any other parent is that you don't leave your child's side, and know that only you have an unbiased love for your child. We experienced stress, undue burdens, and attempted unnecessary procedures. Not all the staff was as bad as the first Nurse we had that never gave my daughter a call button and had my wife sleeping in our van in the parking garage. The surgeon went far and above her duties to get my wife out of the parking garage the morning of surgery. The level of communication with us was Non existent even after meeting with the nurse managers and Multiple Drs. They simply did not know how to involve us in the care she was receiving there, and Had I not stayed awake and by her side especially in the PIUC I have no doubt that she'd still be there.
