 Before Cornell, Acting P.J., Gomes, J., and Kane, J.

Petitioner Angela M. in propria persona seeks an extraordinary writ (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.452) from the juvenile court’s orders issued at a contested 18-month review hearing (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.22, subd. (a))1 terminating her reunification services and setting a section 366.26 hearing as to her five-year-old son Jordan, three-year-old son Hunter and one-year-old son Brett. We deny the petition. PROCEDURAL AND FACTUAL SUMMARY Angela is the mother of three young sons, Jordan, Hunter and Brett, the subjects of this writ petition. Angela suffers from bipolar disorder. Jordan suffers from sickle cell anemia. The Kings County Human Services Agency (agency) first became aware of Angela and the children in June 2011. At that time, Angela was living in a shelter with Jordan and Hunter and was pregnant with Brett and due to deliver. She was not taking her psychotropic medication because of her pregnancy. In early June 2011, hospital staff raised concerns for the children’s well-being when Angela presented several times with then three-year-old Jordan and 15-month-old Hunter asking to be induced. Her behavior was reportedly erratic, bizarre and grandiose and the children, though healthy, were dirty. The police elected not to put a protective hold on the children at that time. In late June 2011, the agency received a report that Jordan was in sickle cell crisis and that it could be life-threatening. His heart was enlarged, his chest congested and he had a fever. He was also having difficulty breathing and was given oxygen. The reporting party (RP) stated that Jordan needed to be transferred to a higher level facility and that an ambulance had been waiting for an hour to transport him, but Angela refused
