Kartier - I am having trouble finding words to express my horror and sorrow that your poor DD was treated like this - not only that she sustained such a terrible injury but that they didn't treat it immediately as the serious situation that it was. It sounds like you really need to talk to someone yourself - just to help you process your feelings about everything that has happened. I'm not sure where abouts you live but it might be worth asking about a counsellor (the hospital social worker might be a good person to talk to as a starting point) - not only to help you process your feelings but also to help you with making decisions about what to do next. xxx
