Mark Vidonic I mean, the nurse just showed up with no paperwork, no nothing? Doesn't make sense.

Praying for Memphis Makes lots ps sense they are new and were hired by Pittsburgh. We are in Akron Ohio now. They don't deal with that company.

Mary Neddo Dunbar I agree. That is completely insane that the hospital does not know the name of the agency they hired. Furthermore, the agency will absolutely know the first and last name (at the very least) of the nurse that is employed with them. They will also have SS number, DOB, and address. This just does not add up. Praying for youto get some answers soon.

Praying for Memphis She had paperwork. In fact I still have her chart. But it doesn't have her last name in it anywhere.

Praying for Memphis I never said they didn't know the name. I said Pitt hired them. They are the ones that work with them most often. Akron doesn't use them so the don't know who they are. I gave the police and Cps their info and info I had for her. That is all I can do.

Jonna Borough Wilson If no one has her last name, how does she get paid? There has to be an employee file somewhere that will have all the information they would need to find her. Even working as a respite worker, I had to have all my clients sign my timecard, which had all my information on it. Without that, I wouldn't have been paid.

Praying for Memphis I am sure the agency knows her name and address. But they will not give that info to me. That is why the police and Cps are investigating so they can find her and figure out what happened.

Mark Vidonic How can a PA hospital hire a company in Ohio? I didn't think that was possible, I thought you'd gave to get a referral from your local hospital.

Memphis part 3 Nurse unknown

Praying for Memphis Sorry guys I talked to CPA and Hubbard township police yesterday. They are trying to track down the nurse. Seems no one knows who the nursing agency is and we only her first name. Police are talking about child endangerment charges. He is doing good today and we should go home on monday. Also they found out he has brittle bones but doing tests to find out why.

Stephanie Kessler Don't you know the name of the agency that sent a nurse to your home? I mean, I know there's a lot going on and you have a lot on your plate but before I let anyone into my home to care for a medically fragile child I would have a little more info on her than her first name. If he has brittle bones then it wouldn't be negligence on anyone's part. Kids with that disease break just from sitting for long periods of time. What about the brain bleed? That wouldn't be caused by brittle bones. I'm trying to understand what's going on but I'm confused. Poor Memphis! He's dealt with too much in his short life already!4 hours ago · 5 peopleLoading...

Praying for Memphis I know the name of the agency. I was just meaning the hospital, police, or Cps know much of them. I guess they are fairly new. They were told by me to do a background check and drug test before she came in which I just found out was not done. I didn't hire them the hospital did. I called the agency earlier in the week and asked to have her replaced because I felt she was to young and inexperienced. They told me they would work on finding someone else.

Praying for Memphis Yea well until we know what is going on and have answers you won't either. All I know is what I have said. The hospital is still trying to figure out what is wrong with him and what happened. Don't know if I will have any real answers for awhile.

Jean Gragg This is crazy... Everything youve been through with that hospital! Why the HELL would they send some new company out??? One they obviously know NOTHING about! And when it comes to such a fragile and special little man you would think they would want someone whos been in the business for awhile! God is smiling on Mempis. Hes always on my my mind and in my prayers..
3 hours ago.

Stephanie Kessler It shouldn't matter how new the agency is, there are protocols and laws regarding these situations. You should have been given copies of the background check and drug test BEFORE she was allowed to start. This happened yesterday, all parties involved, parents, siblings, agency, nurses, anyone that's had any contact with Memphis should have been questioned by now. You don't get a brain bleed from brittle bones! Someone hurt this innocent child and that someone needs to pay, dearly!

Sarah Rhian Simon i hope he recovers quickly. he is such a sweetie. and i hope you get the answers you need. thoughts are with you all.
3 hours ago.Praying for Memphis Well I didn't have a choice of the company or weather they came or not. Transplant said we had to have a home nurse and set it up. If you have a problem or think you can get better answers feel free to contact them yourself. Until then this is all I know.
3 hours ago.

Stephanie Kessler The only problem I have is that Memphis is dealing with yet another setback! I'm just trying to help you think through and maybe trigger something. Sometimes it takes someone from the outside, looking in to talk it out and trigger that one... piece of paper that you remember sticking in that out of the way place or that one conversation where something was said. The people here all have a very vested interest in Memphis and want what's best for him just as much as you do. He has been through way too much to deal with all of this, he needs to be able to rest and be happy.

Praying for Memphis I agree but the first place they should be looking is this nurse.
2 hours ago.

Stephanie Kessler It's there job to do a thorough investigation and that may mean looking at everyone that's had contact with him, even to rule them out. I'm the daughter of a police officer so I can understand them having to question all parties involved. There could be a simple explanation, another child accidentally falling on him...anything but that won't be known until they investigate. What's going on with the brain bleed? Any info on that yet?
2 hours ago.

Shannon Whitaker the aganecy knows exactly who was there. they keep schedules and stuff also payroll would have records. did home care for 8 yrs. they need to fess up and give u the info and also cooperate with the poilce. this is sooo sad. even if he has brittle bones, that wouldn cause brain bleed unless he was shaken or dropped. someone needs to pay for this...

Memphis Part 2 brain bleed

Praying for Memphis
Cat scan came back that Memphis has a brain bleed on the left side of his head. Bone scan is not back yet. They are also waiting for a neurosurgeon to see if they need to do surgery on his head. May have to move him to Cleveland.

Praying for Memphis Dr said looks like he was shaken or dropped. They are gonna call in an expert dr on child abuse to try to tell exactly what it is. Nurseing company saying they think the nurse would have said if she dropped him. I talked to her and she said she doesn't know how it happened. I don't care how it happened I just don't want my baby to go through this.

Yesterday at 12:38pm.

Dana Linger Please forgive me for asking but I know many are wondering, where you not home when the nurse was with him? I would think he would have screamed in agony for a long time. I am praying for Memphis and am so so sorry this happened to this lil guy who has been through so much in his short life already. I imagine there is going to be a background check on this nurse to find out if any other people in her care has ever been harmed in any way.

Jocelyn Eckman Omg how horrible!!! Memphis and family are in my prayers!!!
Yesterday at 1:16pm.

Dana Linger No, I didn't mean that. I was wondering if she went grocery shopping, was taking kids to school or whatever. I was just wondering if the nurse was home alone with Memphis. A nurse is there to take care of him so I don't normally consider th...em a stranger. I wouldn't blame Nicole at all if she had to do errands. Again, I don't think I implied she was leaving her child with a total stranger. If she is a home nurse, she had to be checked out and many people rely on them to be at home while the parent, and in some cases ( in elderly care) the children go do what needs to be done. Where did you get your implication from?Yesterday at 1:17pm.

Jessica Williams-Bajek This could be why his leg was hurting because when you shake a baby not only is their brain effected but also the long ones (arms and legs) can become fractured.

Memphis Part 1

Not on Triplet Connection but lets follow the Saga of Memphis. This is a real little boy who we only wish all the best for in lift. However, something just doesn't add up with the parents. So much of their story and combativeness and anger with anyone who questions them or suggests they do anything different is just a red flag. I will tell the early story from when I was first alerted to this story because she pulled any post that disagreed with her approach or suggested she handle the situation different. Anything that didn't tell her that her aggressive approach was the way to go "wasn't supportive and we don't have time for non supportive people".

I will ask someone who has followed the story to give a more detailed background. But basically Memphis is one of infant triplets who needed a transplant. Was in the hospital but Mom wanted the hospital to release or transfer AMA. Mom says she went to court and won but the hospital refused to transfer him in violation of court order. (I stopped reading for a while) Now he has been released home and 12 hours after being home the home health nurse has broken his leg,back and caused a brain bleed. But nobody knows the name of the nurse or nursing agency. The police are looking for her.

Praying for Memphis
Can someone tell me how a 9 month old that does not walk or crawl yet and is in a nurses care for 12 hours ends up with a broken leg?

Levels are alright and checked on a regular basis.

God has a plan for him and I am starting to thing it is a big plan too!
Yesterday at 9:54am.

Michelle Matyi I know a baby this happened to. The dad had him on his lap and the baby suddenly jumped/rolled and the dad tried to catch him and ended up grabbing his leg and it broke. In a situation like that, it was a total accident, and accidents can h...appen. But you would think that a trained nurse would realize something was wrong and let you know to get that baby some help. Sorry to hear he is going through this. And I would definitely report the situation to the nurses supervisors and whatever authorities need to be involved. Having an accident is very different than trying to cover it up by not mentioning it.See More

Im stressed out enough by the whole situation, it must be a million times worse for you after the last year.
Yesterday at 12:48pm.

Dana Linger Michelle, was that story you were telling of of a 9 month old. Even though he has been through what he has been, at his age, I wouldn't think that it would break that easily. And, as we are learning, he has a brain bleed so it seems more to... the story. The nurse, even if his bones are delicate (which, as I stated earlier, other bones would have broken sooner) he would have cried tremendously, so that nurse would have known if there was an accidental break. Hiding it seems to me that it was an intentional act (at least the hiding part). This makes me sick! THIS BABY HAS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH!!!!!!Yesterday at 1:01pm.

Rick-Amanda Minor O My Goodness poor baby I hope and pray that everything is ok this poor little guy has been throu so much now this it is just such a shame Everyone thinks they can protect their kids from bad things and bad people but some times bad people and be in good people clothes I am so sorry for what ever happened I hope you little boy is ok God has been with him all this long road of his little life may he help him threw this also Your Family is in our Prayers!!!

Yesterday at 2:10pm.

Michelle Matyi Dana, yes, the baby was about ten months. And I agree with you. Those parents knew immediately something was wrong, and this nurse should have too. However it happened, it should not have been ignored. And now with the new results, this is just totally unbelievable. This baby has gone through enough and should not have to worry about anything else.
