An Alberta mother is recounting her experience arriving at a packed children's hospital when her young daughter was in dire need of help.
Amanda Weger said it's been a terrifying two weeks since she brought her daughter Avery into the Alberta Children's Hospital, where the 23-month-old remains with RSV and the flu.
With the hospital working at-capacity some days, Alberta Health Services set up a heated trailer outside as an overflow waiting room and paused respite care so staff from the children’s hospice can help at the hospital instead. "When we got there it was, it was insane," she said. "I think when I got there it was three and a half hours just to be triaged."
Despite being overworked, Amanda said the staff has been wonderful. But she worries about the continuing pressure on a healthcare system already strained from the pandemic. "It's rough. I feel for all of us that are in there right now, because it is scary. The nurses are so overworked."
