Mother Of Conjoined Twins Says Children's Hospital Colorado Banned Her From Seeing Her Child

A mother of conjoined twins said she has been banned by Children's Hospital Colorado from seeing her newborn child. Now, she wants to sue them for prohibiting her from visiting her baby.

Amber McCullough from Minnesota gave birth in Colorado on Aug. 26. She delivered Hannah and Olivia through a cesarean section, but sadly doctors were unable to save Olivia after the 5-hour separation procedure.

However, enraged Amber argued with the hospital last month after banning her from seeing Hannah as they deemed her to be "disruptive." She was banned for three days and was also limited to two-hour daily visit in the mid of December.

"She was disruptive to staff and interfering with their ability to take care of other patients," the hospital explained to her lawyer, James Avery in a statement sent via email. "The situation has become untenable and unworkable." 

Thus, the new mom strongly denied the claims and said she's just concern about her daughter. On the GoFundMe page, Amber also said she wants to transfer Hannah to another medical facility in Boston.

McCullough also warned that she's filing a lawsuit against the hospital. "I am also currently suing them over the retaliation as it violates patient rights, parental rights, Joint Commission rules, the patient care act and others," she wrote.

Amber said she wants to sue the hospital as she wants to speak for herself as well as for other patients and parents -- definitely wanting to hold the hospital "accountable" of such occurrences. She also thinks there are no specific measures in place to protect both rights of the patients and of the parents.

But after filing legal documents, her laywer Avery confirmed on Tuesday to 9NEWS that the hospital already reinstated his client's visitation hours. She is now allowed to visit her daughter four hours a day, except from Sunday to Tuesday. She was also asked not to record anymore any conversations between her and the hospital.

Since the visitation approval, McCullough then removed her Facebook account as it is where she posted the recorded conversations between her and the hospital's staff after the medical facility claimed she was disruptive. Now, McCullough is processing her Medicaid approval and intends to transfer Hannah to a Children's Hospital in Boston.
