The Supervision is lifted
We finally have our letter stating that we are not being charged with Sebastian's injuries. It's a relief to have that in writing. In the letter CPS explains that they cannot list this incident as the accident that it was because they have a signed affidavit from the Doctors saying that Sebastian suffered significant trauma and that there was no way it was an accident. Well, hell we know it was a significant trauma. We were there. We rushed our little bundle of joy to the hospital and prayed day and night that he would pull through. We stayed by his side until CPS banned us from his room.
We know it was most likely a fall he had taken the previous day that most likely caused his injury, that coupled with the vaccine he had received the week before and I think we just got caught in a one and a million scenario that allowed a fall to cause so much injury. I am purely speculating here because no one ever tried to find out exactly what happened to Sebastian.
It makes me angrier than I've ever been, to see how little regard the doctors and nurses, charged with taking care of us, had for us once they believed they were better than us. I don't know how many times we told doctors and nurses that Sebastian had a history of falling. We told them about the vaccine and the information we had found online from Medical Sources. No one believed us or cared. They had made up their mind and they weren't going to investigate any further. It was sheer laziness and a disregard for the general well being of our son that put our family on this path of trials and tribulations.
The quality of care we received was definitely much different than that of the other patients in the PICU. Both doctors and nurses got by with telling us as little as possible. Any questions we had were either dismissed, ignored or answered with the barest of information. CPS never once visited our home or the hospital to check on Sebastian. Here they were making Life and death decisions for our Son and our Family, yet they never had to courage to show up and see if their accusations were well founded or to even see the impact their decisions were making. They made decisions which adversely affected our son without so much as a visit to see what kind of impact their decisions made in our son's recovery. Little Babies should not have to cry for hours and hours on end with no Mom or Dad to comfort them in scary hospital with tubes and electrodes stuck to them. All because some idiot in an office thinks he knows what he's doing.
So yeah, I'm angry and hurt. We all are. But we'll survive. We'll move forward and put all this ugliness behind us. And that's in part to being able to get back to normal. We can finally get back to being a family. My parents can go home and spend some much deserved quality time with each other. They've been flying back and forth for the past 4 months, 1 parent here and the other one taking care of my grandfather in El Paso.
I'll finish my Protective Parenting classes. We'll go through a visit next week and then again in January and hopefully by the end of January the case will be closed. I won't count on that, the State is notoriously slow but it's a target date and it's something to work towards.
