I’ll be watching the Bills on my phone tomorrow night from Childrens, no Amazon prime on the tv here. It’s super uncomfortable but I’m grateful for the care that she is getting, I find hope in the stories others have shared! See if one of the nurses will loan you their laptop! great to hear ya had a good day, take care Quote
Augie Posted September 18 Posted September 18 (edited) Years ago I worked with a young lady who was expecting her first child. She came to me one day to ask what it would be like, and I gave her some lame answer off the top of my head. A few hours later I went to her office and tried to do better. I said it’s hard to describe, but the highs will be higher and the lows will be lower when you have a child. Everything is magnified, and you won’t believe how much you can care for something even more than yourself. We’ve been thru the wringer with our kids, with both good and bad like most people. It’s not just one child who is affected by difficult things, it affects everyone in their universe. Life teaches you to heighten your empathy, because you know what it’s like to have something so dear to you struggling. I hope and pray that one day this will be remembered as “when we turned the corner.” . Edited September 18 by Augie 3 1 3 Quote

GaryPinC Posted September 18 Posted September 18 Your daughter, you, your family, and medical staff will be in my prayers. Hope you two can somehow watch the game together tonight and just enjoy that opportunity. Bills therapy! Quote
Orlando Buffalo Posted September 18 Posted September 18 I have a 15 year old and teach high school and all I can tell you is try to be there for your kid right now. The good kids mess up a lot and being a teen is really hard. I can thankfully tell you most of the situations get worked out and the kids learn from life what they refuse to learn from us. God Bless. 2 Quote

DaVinci Posted September 19 Posted September 19 Prayers for your daughter and you're family. Sounds like she has a great support team. "This to shall pass" Quote
BillsFan4 Posted September 19 Posted September 19 Praying for you and your daughter! Eating disorders are rough. My younger cousin had a couple different eating disorders when she was younger. She did a lot of therapy to address it and eventually it did help. She also had an episode where she ended up in the hospital and I think that was a big wake up call for her. Things seemed to slowly start getting better after that. So I’m hoping the same happens for your daughter! If you ever want me to reach out to my cousin about this, for resources or advise or whatever, just let me know! 1 Quote

She was doing well but it has been a rough morning. It is good that she is closely Monitored and in a controlled environment but it’s a refeeding process that she needs, yet her body is uncomfortable and she is in pain and can’t sleep. 1 1 Quote

Yolo thanks for the update - sounds rough but also maybe some difficult to achieve progress. Stay strong as this sounds like an arduous but hopeful journey. May she continue to improve. 2 Quote

Sojourner Posted September 20 Posted September 20 I have no doubt everyone is praying for your daughter and the family. If going by your contributions to this board over the years are anything to go by blessings should come full circle to you and yours. Many prayers and lots of love! 1 Quote
BuffaloBud Posted September 22 Posted September 22 YOLO - fellow CBUS'er here. You need something - reach out. Big prayers up for your daughter. Quote
BarleyNY Posted September 23 Posted September 23 I’m sorry for what your daughter, you and your family is going through. My daughter (now 20) went through similar issues with eating, though she did not get to the point of hospitalization. In her case it was anxiety driven. Counseling, a low dose of anti-anxiety meds and opening up to me about some things she had bottled up seems to have helped her immensely. You aren’t kidding about parenting either. It’s a meat grinder sometimes. The best simile I’ve ever heard is that it’s like climbing a huge mountain. There are wonderful moments of great beauty along the way and it can be incredibly rewarding, but mostly it’s just a lot of work. 1 Quote
Juice_32 Posted September 23 Posted September 23 My wife and I will be praying brother. Faith the size of a mustard seed can move a mountain. We understand all too well the difficulties that come with having a child who is dealing with an issue like this. Love her through it all, and believe she will be healed. 1 Quote
