Lingering Questions

I'm just starting to process what we have been through. I've been reconstructing the whole series of events in my head and on paper.

What I'm getting increasingly upset about is the fact that no electrolyte panels were run for his first four days, while he was on an IV drip and before we knew that we were going to have vascular access issues. Why didn't they check his blood? Why didn't they put him on full saline right away instead of letting him sink deeper into severe dehydration. My only answer is that they didn't respect or trust Debby when she said that he was dehydrated and was really sick. I may never know the answer but had this turned out differently, I'm sure it would be negligence. He was 8 weeks old.
