It can take a long time to get everything set up when your little one needs over night care. It must be even longer since she mentioned about him having daytime carers too. I've never known someone with the needs Oakley has to also have daytime carers too because as a mum who dont work you'd do it so Tailia must have said she can't/won't cope doing it so that's being put in place too. Over night 100% he would automatically qualify but she has got to have asked for day time carers too. The reason he would have overnight is so she can still sleep and rest while he's safely being looked after ready for her to have him throughout the day before the carers come at night. He will also need his own room/equipment/bed delivered so it may be that she either has to move home or if enough space an extension built for him paid for by the local council. I know personally it's a lengthy process. For babies with quite complex needs it's very common unfortunately for them to spend the good 1/2years in hospital. I know first hand.
I remember her saying he can’t come home because he needs 2 people to care for him because it takes 2 nurses to bath him in the hospital
so you might be right about day time carers.
She obv wants a full time 24 hour carer to look after him so she can
duck off when she wants day or night.
If she is saying she can’t cope with him in the day then surely they should look about placing Oakley somewhere else? It’s a
bleeping shame, 7 weeks in that hospital and she can’t even take him outside for a bit of fresh air
