Paternal Grandparents

meritaten

I came back to suggest that you do a bit of research and see if the grandparents have any siblings who may be a bit more sympathetic to you! But LondonSurrey beat me to it!
Does the father have any siblings hun?

I think MrsManda has a good suggestion too - give them the contact details for your daughters medical team - they may want to help but not want YOU knowing about it.
you have a lot to think about hun. If you want help doing basic genealogy just PM me. or post on here - I know that lots of posters have done family trees.
A good starting site is Ancestry or Find My Past. there are charges for some things - but there is also a LOT of good free information on how to go about it.

Could I ask a question please?

Why dont you just pick up the phone and just ring them?

I hate to say this - but it sounds as if YOU are the problem with them - not your daughter. They sent a 'get well card' didnt they?
why dont you contact them and ask if they want to see your daughter? if your daughter is in hospital then let them know which one and exactly where she is - and say that you WONT be there on a certain day - and you WONT! then leave it up to them.
The nurses will tell you if they have been.

I'd be curious to know the history of this. I've read about a lot of grandparents who are cut out of their grandchildren's lives when the parents separate but who have no rights themselves to see the grandchildren. Have they been hurt in all this?

I can't go into too much detail on here, but they've never been excluded from her life, even throughout some very difficult times.

no, you cannot force them to release their medical records. I presume you've left messages when they didn't answer? ultimately they can either disclose any relevant medical history or not, but you could pass their contact details to the doctors and see if they will contact them, perhaps the family members will answer then?

I really hope your little girl gets better soon x

Thanks guys for your help and advice. I'm going to try to delete this thread as I don't want to be identified. You've all been very helpful. x
