Resolution Urged On
Crosby Baby’s Plight
‘We’re Still Bitter’
• r •.
Grandfather: Lack Of Insurance Caused Delay In Care
it
»
Baytown City Councilman Allen
Cannon urged the council Thurs-
day to express concern about the
refusal by Houston-area hospitals
to admit a critically 111,
premature baby born on
Christmas Day in Baytown.
Cannon said the council should
draft a resolution “voicing our
concern that this was done in Har-
ris County.
“That’s inhumane what hap-
pened here,” Cannon said during
a meeting at City Hall.
“Something needs to be done,”
he said. “Let’s not let it die.” He
said the incident is “fixing to get
swept right under the rug. ’ ’
Christopher Lemley, who
weighed less than two pounds,
died Thursday from heart failure
in the neo-natal intensive care
unit at a Temple hospital,
Jefferson Davis Hospital in
Houston, a tax-supported facility
that has a special unit for
premature babies, had said it
could not accept Christopher
because its beds were full.
But Cannon said,' “I think a
board of inquiry would need to
confirm that.
“That baby should have receiv-
ed care if, in fact, there wefe beds
available.”
Christopher, whose parents,
Bob and Jana Lemley, live in
Crosby, was delivered at Gulf
Coast Hospital in Baytown but
could not be properly treated
there because the hospital lacked
special equipment needed to treat
the infant.
After about a five-hour delay,
during which at least seven
Houston-area hospitals refused to
accept the baby, Christopher was
airlifted to Scott & White Hospital
in Temple.
Cannon commended Dr. Ken
Carlson, a Baytown pediatrician -
who helped to transfer the baby
and who expressed anger over the
hospitals’ refusals to accept the
infant.
But Carlson said, “I’m not get-
ting a very warm reception from
my colleagues.”
