Disclaimer: If this is off-topic, which it most likely is, I am in desperate need to help my niece. No mother should have to go through what she has been. To only hold your newborn twice in 7 weeks is horrible. Some of you may be saying, "What is she nuts? This isn't the group for this." I know that. I am hoping someone can help me with the nursing problem that we are facing now.

My great-nephew was born 7 weeks ago with Pierre Robin Sequence. http://www.faces-cranio.org/Disord/PierreRobin.htm He is in Children's Hospital in Philadelphia, unable to come home because we cannot find a nurse who can take care of him. See below for what is required. We live in Phillipsburg, NJ 08865, so obviously, the nurse would have to live relatively close.  My niece has only held my nephew twice in the past 7 weeks. This totally upsets me. If there is anyone than can help me or point me in the right direction, please do so! Thank you so much.
