Hatzolah won't be able to help since my destination doesn't have a Hatzolah in that area . So they wouldn't go all the way there. If I were going home to Monsey that wouldn be a much bigger possibility .

Do yoi have friends in Monsey that can have you, dh and ds, in case you're discharged on YT?

When I was in a similar situation recently on Shabbos , I was convinced that I would have to just stay put at the hospital over Shabbos. But I was told that I can absolutely take an Uber home. I ended up being discharged before Shabbos but got home a few minutes after Shabbos started.

Can you download the Uber, Juno or Lyft app? Try setting up a ride from Westchester to your in laws to confirm that the car service will go there. (Ask you Rav to confirm that this plan is okay).
If not, do you have anyone back home like a friend or neighbor that would be willing to host you?

My home was sold in the chometz. All my relatives went out of state for Yom Tov or to diff. Cities. The only one that is home had major surgery on Erev Yom Tov and is a cholah herself with people cooking for her and taking care of her family. My DH slept in her house last night. But I can't come there with a sick child it just doesn't seem like a choice. I have nobody else unless it's strangers which I REALLy wouldn't feel comfortable about.

When I went home from the hospital on Rosh Hashana with an injured child, I was told to have the medical staff call a taxi etc. They were totally fine with it.

I think you could ask a nurse to call uber for you. Prepare all information before. Ask uber to give you a female driver. You feel calmer. They take people all over so no worries. Please call a rav how to go about this. Even if your discharged b4 you tov. I know a friend that was also in hospital with her child and discharged on you tov. Hatzala took care of the call for her. Call westcester hatzala and see if they can help.

I don't think Westchester has a Hatzolah. Does anyone know?

There's a Riverdale branch under the main hatzalah. I couldn't figure out if Westchester has their own hatzalah from my Google search, but it's a possibility. In any case, Riverdale is near Westchester.

I know this piece is unimportant but what makes you think hatzala is not up,there?

My own brother is a Hatzolah member and is a member there in the summer and he is there as the emergency attendee at a Pesach Hotel because there is no active Hatzolah there during the year. At least not in the town or city where my inlaws are .

I’m not sure where exactly upstate she is referring to but I can think of several hatzalahs offhand that are upstate. Maybe one of them can help.

Is your home a closer option? If so, speak to a Rav. Your house wasn't sold, only the chametz inside it was sold. There may be ways to stay there anyway under the circumstances.

This. There is Monroe Hatzalah as well. Even if your in laws are a little out of Fallsburg etc... they may be able to help you . Did you meet the frum liaison at the hospital? He may able to help you and brainstorm.

OK. I will check with my brother then if he know she if this is even a possibility. He is a Hatzolah member for multiple areas and would know.
They don't have frum members doing these rides. They usually have non Jewish people drive the ambulances back from the hospital after they drop someone off. It's not like they come in very often.
Uber would be $130. How would I pay it on Ym?

You need to input your CC or PayPal information when you set up your account(before Yom Tov). Your card is charged automatically a few hours after your ride is completed.

Ok. Thanks. So if I would give a nurse my phone with the pre set app, that would work?

I just realized that Mount Kisco is even closer to Westchester than Riverdale. Call your regular hatzalah number and ask them for the number.
