Parent Quotes From An Inpatient Unit: While
In “I would tell parents to remember that you’re the people who are going to do the work.” “The people on the unit recognize that they are not just working with an individual, but with a family unit.” “We have [several] children. In order to keep things stable for everyone, I would visit the unit while my wife stayed home with the others. We were lucky to have the resources to do that. . .” “With one in the hospital and the other at home, I had to be there for both of them…” “When your child is in the hospital, and it seems like there is no time, it’s important to recognize small ‘chunks’ of time and use them. I used commuting time as quiet time.” “Know as much as you can about who you are speaking to.”
