I was just contacted by the case manager at Brackenridge hospital<br \/>\nwho is trying desperately to acquire some equipment for a deaf mom<br \/>\nwith very limited resources and her child in the NICU. The baby is<br \/>\ndoing relatively well, and is expected to be discharged in the next<br \/>\nfew days. <\/p>\n<p>Our problem is that mom needs a crier\/flasher with a receiver and an<br \/>\nadapter so that she may know when her child needs to eat. The baby is<br \/>\na preemie and has some very particular needs, and in order to help<br \/>\nthis mom as much as possible, the hospital staff is scrambling to<br \/>\nacquire this equipment. TCSDHH has been no help, and with DARS nothing<br \/>\ncan be done until the child is enrolled in ECI (which we can&#8217;t do<br \/>\nuntil the baby is discharged), but the baby can&#8217;t be discharged<br \/>\nwithout the equipment. <\/p>\n<p>Forgive me for this rambling email, but we&#8217;re not sure where to turn.<br \/>\nDoes TSD have any resources to help in this situation? Or would you<br \/>\nknow where we may look to acquire (rent\/purchase\/borrow) the needed<br \/>\nequipment? <\/p>\n<p>Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
