I took my newborn son to get his second (PKU) screening and the nurse literally squeeze the shit out of his foot. He is bruised, his foot is swollen, his skin is peeling, he’s getting blisters and his foot is bleeding!

I am so pissed off at that nurse. She said and I quote “I don’t poke the babies twice because it hurts my heart” so instead you squeeze the fuck out of my baby to the point where his foot hurts him so bad I can’t even touch his foot without him screaming.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

(*UPDATE*)

I called the pediatrician and scheduled and appointment! I am working on reporting the nurse who hurt my poor baby...

he’s doing a little better, but that’s not the point. He should have never had to go through that in the first place.

(*UPDATE #2*)

I took him in for a check up today and his pediatrician said that somehow his skin was broken and bacteria got inside of the wound making it infected. She gave me two prescriptions one was an ointment and the other an antibiotic. She said to be on the look out because it could spread throughout his foot. We have a follow up on Monday to check it out. She said if it looked like it was getting worse or not any better to take him to the children’s hospital.
