He has had 2 seizures today. So first and foremost please pray for him.

Almost positive it's not COVID , but they wont let me in the hospital. They said I can switch out but then my wife can't get back in. Any tips on how to get around that horrible policy.

I have a feeling it won't work because you're actually just a father in this instance. I hope they let you and and I hope your son is healed.

It didn't they called security even though I wasn't doing anything wrong, or even being obnoxious.

Dealt with that seizure crap with our oldest. Two ER visits, a couple specialists and lots of hospital bills later, she's fine.

Sorry you're going through all this.

I'm sorry to hear that. It is an ridiculous and awful policy at this point. Both parents should be allowed.

I know right. We are allowed to switch, but not in at the same time? How does that make sense? If we both are in the same room it would be equally contaminated... when I explain this they talk to me like robots saying its policy. Then they treat me like a criminal and call security. So called advocates have done nothing for me. My wife called me crying saying she needs help making the decisions and that she needs me there. They seemingly don't care. Not enough to fight for me anyways.

Terrible policy. It's your son for Christ sake (sorry, I know you're a preacher-but this makes my freaking blood boil!). Hopefully they will go to the top on this and get you and mom in there with him. I'd be going just about crazy right now. In the meantime, I'll be praying for you boy. May God watch over you and his caregivers. Keep us updated.

I was one wrong move from going to jail, but that would have only made things worse. I wasn't a threat I was just crying... needed 4 security guards though. Seemed like overkill considering I obeyed everything they asked of me.

Not a big fan of major news networks but I bet local news could make hay out of this.

Heck, most hospitals have board members that have to be elected. They don't want their name attached to this kind of tomfoolery. I've been on a hospital board for years, I know I wouldn't put up with it.
Hold on honey, there are people on the internet that are wrong.

That is just absolutely ridiculous. Sorry you're having to deal with crap at a time like this. I pray that your son will be healed soon.

Febrile seizure?

We had this with our oldest daugher. I still remember it like it was yesterday and it has been about 5.5 years. It scared me to no end. It happened when my wife was giving her a bath. Had no idea they were a thing and she wasnt moving and barely breathing. Thought we were losing her. After about 8 hours in the ER she came home with us and even ate some McDonalds on the way home.

Hope that is all this is.

Prayers.

I encourage you and your wife to rely on your faith and the scriptures you know and not on your own efforts or thoughts of how you can make things better if you are only allowed to.... I feel sure the hospital believes it has no options to allow you both in according to the guidelines the state and feds have issued. Talk to any worker and they will tell you how much it hurts them that patients can't have their family with them and that they feel as deeply for the disallowed family as they do for the patients.

I relate to this because my 83 year old mother is in a nursing home with dementia and my 83 year old dad can no longer visit her daily as he did up until this began. He is as safe as any worker or patient in the facility but the workers who all know him and care about him and my mother can not change the policies. As a fellow follower of Christ I encourage you to, rather than seeking a way to circumvent the policy, find a way to allow this to strengthen your faith and be an encouragement to the medical staff working diligently to help your child as much as they are capable.

I will pray for your son, the doctors and you and your wife. God will provide.

All the test came back clear! We are getting discharged soon. We still don't know what caused the seizures, but we will have a follow up soon. Hopefully it was a one time thing. Thank you for your prayers!

I agree this is an absolutely awful policy know now that is risk of fatality or severe disease is minimal under age 50. There is no reason to allow in both parents particularly if under age 50. The states and pediatric hospitals need to revise these policies as soon as possible. Hospitalized kids without their parents seems much worse than the minimal risks to the parents or even hospital staff.

Do NOT, under any circumstances, enable video. I cannot stress this enough.

I can empathize. My son had stopped breathing while I was taking him to school years ago. I pulled over and got him breathing again and sped off to the ER. Once I got to the ER things didn't go so well and I lost my cool.....had a visit from 2 officers. They ended up leaving me alone. My son ended up have severe pneumonia and was in the ICU For 6 days. I don't think I ever mentally recovered from that.

I didn't even raise my voice when they called security on me. The nurses were just too afraid to ask me to leave. Which I would have done without force. The sad thing is all I would have had to do to go to jail was say in a calm voice I'm not leaving. Security was over the top with little man syndrome.

Glad everything is okay, In this case the hospital didn't have a lot of flexibility. Here is the rule put in place by Texas HHSC limiting visitors. It is not just a hospital policy- though a hospital can have more restrictive policies that what the rule allows - but rather a regulatory enforcement issue,
