@xypher101 Ok, I’m going through it but this made me lol so thank you. Your poor parents though!

@sutekh It’s horrible. I just cry thinking about it.

@james1131 That’s the other part of all of this. My son was ok when we took him to the ER. By the time he left, he had bruises on his hand from when he ripped out the IV, bruise on his foot from the second time they drew blood, and screamed while peeing because of the catheter. I feel so guilty...

@jeremiahslaton344 Luckily I was too shocked to respond with anger. I think I just shut down when they said the word abuse. I also was worried something was really wrong with him, so I just wanted them to do whatever they needed to do to tell me he was ok. My anxiety was and is through the roof...

@miracleboy Thank you for the context. I didn’t realize hospitals were making that many referrals! We have absolutely treated all workers with respect. I know it’s not an easy job and that it’s not personal. It’s so hard though, to be accused when I know abuse didn’t happen. It’s so shocking and...

@kaleidoscopeheart That’s horrible. How sad for the baby and for your friend.

@jdn2604 Thank you for this. Yes, it’s a pediatric abuse specialist doctor attached to the hospital I think, not CPS. She did not see us when we were in hospital but ordered the X-ray for 10-14 days later.

@debzyj She said it was because she thought it could be a liver problem or probable with his spleen.

@jillian92 Thank you. I’m more frustrated with our pediatrician than anyone else. I know ER doctors need to be aware of these things but I feel like pediatrician really let us down. I’m still stunned.

Hi all. I’m posting here because I am just going through it right now. Last weekend saw a faint bruise on my 9 month old’s abdomen. I have anxiety and realize I tend to catastrophize everything related to health. I immediately thought this was going to be something bad but instead of panicking...
