EDINA — An Edina couple may seek legal action after they say their 4-month-old was given the wrong medication before they were kicked off of a Disney cruise ship in the Bahamas.
The Moak family boarded the Disney Wonder on Dec. 30 in Miami, Florida. Jenny Moak says her daughter Rosie was spitting up more than usual so she brought her on Jan. 1 to a general medicine doctor onboard the ship.
KSTP-TV reports Rosie was prescribed Phenergan, a medicine the FDA says shouldn’t be used for patients under 2. The couple received a call several hours after the doctor visit saying Rosie was too young to be on the ship and the medical staff couldn’t provide care if she was sick.
Moak says she believes their trip was terminated because of the medical mistake.
