Very rude techs at the hospital

So for the most part we had an amazing doctors nurses and surgeons when we were at the hospital with Link yesterday. They were all kind patient and understanding with him. They even did a nose IV to give him medicine to calm him down and help him relax before they took him back into the surgery room. This made him fall asleep and they were able to start his IV while he was out.

But when he was in recovery for some reason the tech deck out the IV even though they had ordered blood work.

But he was in the recovery room Joel was holding him he added security blanket and he was sucking his thumb.

The tech looked at Joel and said you know I can give you information about breaking that horrible habit he has.

I tell you what it looks could kill that tech would be dead. Joel was not in the mood to deal that. This was also the tech that took out his IV. Not sure if this tech was trying to be helpful or just being rude or treating him bad because of his disability.

He even came back later to attempt to take the blood sample but Joel fast for a different person.

I don't really feel it was the time or place to say something like that when it was very clear that he still upset and needed to be comforted.

It is something we have talked about trying to get him to stop doing but not for a little while not after the surgery. Recovery is not going to be easy for him and he needs to be able to be comfortable and relax.

Our daughter has autism, he does not he has down syndrome. And the only reason we ever talk about having him stop sucking his thumb is because of his teeth it is causing his front teeth to move a little bit but right now it's nothing we're worried about first we have to focus on healing his feet and then we have the summer to work on his walking with his afos again. So if we ever try to encourage him to stop sucking his thumb it will be a year or two down the road we are an absolutely no hurry.

@Cigarguy I understand but I just think if sucking his thumb helps him sensiry wise then I wouldn't force him to stop but that's just me! 😘😘😘 Your a lovely family! 😌😌😌

@MommyLucy like I said the only reason we would consider encouraging him to stop if it starts causing significant damage to his front teeth. Right now he has too much going on for us to even think of trying to add that to the things he needs to do
