The mother of two children with a mysterious coughing illness is furious Starship Children's Hospital has not assessed their referral, despite it being sent more than a month ago.
Feilding toddlers Cody,Replacement China Porcelain tile and bulbs for Canada and Worldwide. 3, and two-year-old Jayda Archer were living with buckets constantly by their side because they were suffering from severe, chronic coughing fits, which would not stop until the children were gasping for air and vomiting.
Cody's coughing fits started just before he turned two years old, and have been getting progressively worse since, while Jayda started coughing uncontrollably only a few months ago.we supply all kinds of polished tiles,
Doctors have been unable to diagnose what was wrong. Both children have been tested for several illnesses,The additions focus on key tag and magic cube combinations, including whooping cough, and placed on different antibiotics, antihistamines and steroids, none of which have worked.
A referral was sent to Starship Hospital on September 19 by Feilding doctor Julian James-Ashburner.
However,It's hard to beat the versatility of zentai suits on a production line. mum Nicky Archer said after waiting three weeks to hear from the hospital,we supply all kinds of polished tiles, she rang the respiratory department and was told her children's files had not yet been assessed by a doctor.
Miss Archer said it had been an "uphill battle" trying to get a doctor to perform any further tests, "because they all just seem to have given up and put it in the too-hard basket".
When the Manawatu Standard asked Starship how long it would it normally take for a referral to be prioritised, Auckland District Health Board Child Health Service manager Danah Cadman said an appointment had already been made.
"Starship Hospital assessed the referral on September 23 and an appointment has been made for the children," she said.
However, Miss Archer had not been made aware of the appointment.
She said when she made another phone call to the hospital yesterday to check when the appointment was, she was told there were no records of Jayda on their system, and no appointment for the children had been booked.
Miss Archer said she just wanted her children to be well again, but it had been a struggle to get any help.
Neither Cody nor Jayda could stomach eating anything more than toast and they were not allowed any toys in their bedrooms because they attracted dust mites.
Their house is fitted with a hi-tech ventilation system and Miss Archer has to steam-clean her children's mattresses, as well as the floor boards every day.
Although they have both been tested for allergies and found not to have any, Miss Archer said dust mites had made the coughs worse.
