This is baby Lylah's auntie. Thank you for everyone for all the support we have been shown throughout this whole ordeal. Just to clarify some things, my sister Tiffany has NEVER asked for a penny or help from anyone. The fundraiser was my idea. She was/is taking Lylah to Shriner's hospital up to 4 times a month which is about 2 hours away. She owns a mini van, and gas/food/lodging was costing her quite a bit. I as a sister, knew she had enough on her plate dealing with seeing Lylah in so much pain etc. so I decided to put on a raffle in Lylahs name to help her pay for travel expenses. Many caring business were AMAZING enough to donate gift cards and other wonderful prizes for us to raffle off. Lots of wonderful people gladly helped which our family is very very VERY grateful for. Not once have we spent the money we raised on anything but travel expenses. We never asked for this to happen to our precious baby. My sister is the strongest person I know!!! It is sad to think we put or 100% trust in a "medical professionals" hands and this is the result. We are sharing her story to prevent anything like this from happening again to anyone else!! Parents need to know that if they EVER feel like something a medical professional is doing to their child is wrong they should not be afraid to speak up, ask questions, request a transfer/different nurse this is something my sister didn't know before walking in the hospital that night. And she doesn't want Lylahs pain to be in vain. She wants to let parents know what she didn't and maybe she can prevent something like this from happening to another child. SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SHARED HER STORY!! SAID A PRAYER OR SENT ENCOURAGING WORDS FOR OUR FAMILY!!! WORDS CAN NOT DESCRIBE HOW GRATEFUL WE FEEL FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT WE HAVE RECIEVED. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

(cont)@ Bethany. You don't think the baby needed to be at the ER? Were you there? Are you a Dr? Dehydration can be very serious in a infant. With too much diarrhea, a baby can quickly become dehydrated and become very ill. Did mom call her pedi. and they told her to take the baby to the ER? If the baby didn't need to be seen at the ER the nurses and Dr's at the ER would have told her the baby wasn't dehydrated and told mom how to hydrate the baby. But, they thought the baby was sick enough that she not only needed an IV, that they would poke her 14 times in order to try to get it! Then when they couldn't get it, the next hospital kept the baby overnight! To keep a baby overnight for dehydration is pretty serious! For you to doubt how sick the baby was, and her parents intentions is "ghetto" They deserve ALL the money they have had to pay for medical expensives, plus trips to the hospitals, plus pain and suffering. I can't imagine having my innocent child hurt so badly, when I was the one who took her to someone for help. This mother trusted someone to care for her child and they hurt her, as I mother I would feel terrible, as I know this mother does.

@Bethany, what terrible comments. I am sure you don't know this family, so you have only seen the same pics I have seen. NONE of the children appear to have rotten teeth, and it doesn't matter if they have 400 kids and are on welfare (which I never saw where it said they were on welfare, so again it is you unfairly ASSuming they are)she never asked for any handouts, she wants medical bills paid, and the public aware to make sure this hospital never hurts another innocent baby again. Yes, Shriners is free, but they do NOT cover past medical bills. This family has alot of medical bills from before Shriners accepted them, including daily clinic visits to clean the burn. Shriners also does not cover gas, or food, or motels. I think they are about 200 miles from the hospital, and at one point had to go twice a week for awhile. Gas, motel and food 2 times a week could easily run $400-$500. She had family pics taken and posted them to her facebook page, and said if anyone wants pics done they could go to the same lady she used, whats the big deal? She wasn't exploiting anybody. Protocol, policy, it doesn't matter, they stuck that poor baby 14 times! I am sure there is a policy in place to start a IO long before sticking someone 14 times! I am sure by that point the baby was crying, and the nurse said the baby was crying because she didn't like him/her putting her hand on the light. Well after 14 needle sticks I am sure it was hard for anybody to tell if the baby was mad, or in pain, I am sure she was just crying. So as most parents this mother trusted what the nurse said. The burn wasn't noticed until they arrived at another hospital. It's not like mom sat there and watched the skin burn. As far as timing, that is not hard to figure out. Mom could have easily sent a text at 8pm to her mom saying "they can't get an IV so they are trying a IV lamp right now" then at 8:10pm another text that says "the lamp didn't work, we are going to children's hospital" (cont)

I think this family should absolutely sue the hospital for the cost of all of the procedures that this baby is going to have as well as pain and suffering. However... I hope that something in the lawsuit stiputlates that this family cannot spend the money on anything besides the care for THIS child... Any extra money they receive should be put in a trust for this little girl to go to college. They also need to stop asking local businesses to do fundraisers for this child's care... if you are pursuing legal action it is not right that they are asking for money from everyone through their facebook page!

I'm glad we have a world full of such intelligent people as Bethany! Are you serious!? You believe they are on welfare so they don't deserve to be compensated for their child's suffering? They wanted 15 minutes of fame? So did they show up at the hospital with their baby and a big plan on how to get her hand burned so they can have 15 minutes of fame!? You don't think the baby even needed to go to the hospital that night? So you were there and saw her condition? You are trained as a doctor to be able to make that call on a kid you've never met? Hmmm...you're brilliant! I believe you may be the "ghetto" one here....get off the damn computer and go work on some common sense!

Sometimes it isn't about money. They want people to know what she went through so no one else suffers as a result. You're saying if your child or loved one was injured as a direct result of the hospital's neglect you wouldn't shout it from the rooftops?I know I would. And yes, Shriners provides free medical care but they do not cover transportation and the family does not live in Sacramento. Even if they do have buckets of money, they shouldn't have to pay the hundreds/thousands of dollars in gas it will cost to drive back and forth as often as she needs to see the doctor. Not to mention the older kids need attention too but it is kind of hard to do that when you are dealing with an infant who has that kind of injury and needs constant attention. Infants need more attention already.  So, since you seem to be an expert, what are "direct costs" that the hospital should be required to cover? This baby is going to need long term burn care, for years. If ever there was a case that deserves a "pain and suffering payment", this would be one.

I understand asking for costs of direct care, but you know damn well this family with 4 kids with rotten teeth is on welfare and wanting a handout. Shriners provides FREE CARE. What money do they need??? Look at their fb page now, with a photographer trying to get business, all based on exploitation of their daughter's burn. Plus the facts of this story aren't true: it's basic protocol but NOT a stated POLICY that a nurse can only stick a patient twice. Plus, who sat there & timed the baby's hand on the light for 8 minutes? What parent in their right mind wouldn't speak up if the baby's "flesh" was burning like they say it was, and wouldn't say "STOP!" And this is their FOURTH kid, they're not new, timid parents. Their attorney is saying the hospital should pay instead of tax payers? Why? Because they are on welfare and Medi-cal! Seriously, come on. I don't think the baby needed to be in the ER to begin with. Babies get diarrhea all the time and recover without intervention. She was transferred to Children's & released the next day, so how sick was she? I'm not saying something wrong didn't occur, but I don't think it was all it's being made out to be. This family is not only out for "justice" like they claim or they'd be handling things out of the spotlight, privately with their attorney and the hospital. They are ghetto: they want their 15 minutes of fame, money, exploitation. GHETTO!

Been following this story on Facebook since the beginning. Im so happy this little girl is getting voice she deserves. Everyone needs to know what happened to her so it does not happen again. Bless your heart baby girl. You all are still in my thoughts. Keep fighting for what is right!
