Siblings visiting hospital -flu restriction?

Whitney

Is anyone else dealing with a hospital that’s still on flu restriction and won’t let even siblings visit? I understand the flu was nasty this year but it’s almost May 😭😭 I don’t care about limited visitors bc I didn’t want many people to come anyway until we’re at home but I want my 3 year old to meet his brother! They mentioned it was a possibility he wouldn’t be able to visit at my last appointment so offhandedly and flippantly and I called today to check in and they’re like “maybe it will be lifted soon, maybe not.” I understand they have these policies for a reason but siblings?! And at this time of year?

Mostly I’m just hormonal. My birth with my son was kind of traumatic and involved a NICU stay I just had a picture in my head of this one coming into a peaceful environment where I wasn’t stressed. In my rational brain I realize it won’t be that bad even if he can’t come, we’ll likely only be there a little over a day but I’m just sad and I feel like everyone is being dismissive.
