Parents handed the wrong baby

A family said they held the wrong baby for nearly two hours days after his birth at a hospital.

The Charleston Gazette-Mail reported that Crystal and Arnold “Junior” Perry gave birth to Dawson at Logan Regional Medical Center on June 12.

Grandmother Barbara Colegrove said Thursday that Junior Perry went to the nursery to get the baby. Crystal Perry said Dawson’s basket was in the same spot and it said Perry on the ID card. She said a nurse said it was their baby.

However, Crystal Perry said a nurse asked her to read her armband number and then returned with Dawson. Relatives had the baby of someone else with the same last name.
