My 2 year old grand daughter has e-coli bacteria infection...Is she in the right hospital?

Her condition is getting worse. Her Kidneys are about to shut down. She is at the U mass Medcial center in Worcester, MA....Should she be treated at the Childrens Hospital in Boston, MA. Does my gran daughter have a better chance or surviving at a larger Hospital in Boston? Please Help, Urgent

If it was my granddaughter/ child I would absolutely have her transferred out to a children's hospital ! They are better equipt to handle these situations. Do not wait another day! I am in the medical field..... I feel very strong on the answere I gave you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Good luck and God Bless.

please call children's and talk to the head the hospital and explain they will help you, my opinion is bigger hospital are better. GOD SAVE THIS CHILD IN YOUR -AMEN!
