Update on my previous post, “about 6months old daughter hospitalization..”

Hello everyone.
Regarding my previous [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/japanlife/s/SdHtBDDoTX) . I would like to share an update.

Today is 4th day, my daughter has been hospitalized due to low weight gain.
After a discussion , finally my wife will be there with her 24/7 until discharge, which is scheduled to about 2 weeks. Only During feeding and examine time, they will take our daughter, but other than that she will be with her mom. Its a HUGE RELIEF for me , my wife and also our 6 months old.

First of all thank you everyone who suggested to push to stay with daughter anyhow or else change hospital. We told them if its not possible to stay together then we will find alternatives because we have seen our baby crying in 2nd day without no one care that led to dry voice, looking pale and tired. They had some inner discussion themselves(they told they will ask tantoshya and inform back…) after a while they told they will allow as rooms are vacant.
Currently my wife is with her and baby is doing fine and much active. Today when we went there as menkhai, our baby girl immediately recognized her mother🥺. This was her first time recognizing us(well not me but her mother instead 😅) + she was active and had a bright face. It felt like may be she knew her mother will be allowed to stay from now on.

But this would be last time in this hospital. There were still other kids(much smaller than ours.. may be 3-4months old) crying a lot and he/she was simply ignored. Our wife was worried and tried to comfort her as one of the child was just beside our child’s bed.
Also there was 1-1.5 yr old, who could barely stand (was holding bed frame) and crying “mama..mama..”. She had been there since when we arrived. She was also totally ignored. Its not that there weren’t any nurse present, yes they were there but doing their own task.

This would be my last time in this hospital, i even mentioned this to 健康増進センター of our area. They were the one who told not to change hospital as it might affect child, because everything has to be redone from beginning like blood test, scan and all. So they asked me to request to stay together and have patience instead of going new place. They were kind enough to give many suggestions too. I cannot share hospital name as per rules in this sub, if anyone wants to know, you can dm me.

Also would like to thank you everyone who gave their valuable suggestion and shared their experiences. It pushed me harder to talk about it and present our concern to hospital authorities. Thank you again.
