[QUOTE="Andy, post: 190579, member: 5096"] It is so hard to knowingly go that long without anything to eat or drink. It was so hard for me not to give difficult child a drink of water when he was preparing for oral surgery - I was so tempted. But I used to work for a dentist (did the paper work for the surgeries) who did surgery once a week. I know how important it is for no food or drink before the surgery. However, your daughter's behavior was way over the top. Has she been diagnosed with any behavior issues? Kids that age don't behave like that. That nagging for a hug is something I have lived through. I absolutely hate that - it always feels like a power thing - difficult child wanted to feel like he still could get me to do whatever and knowing I was upset figured that a hug or kiss would give him control back - I would put an end to whatever and he could return to his own ways. That was my feelings. That determination to make the doctor follow through on something he felt was dangerous is scary - It is one thing to try to make a parent do something, it is another level of authority to get a doctor to do something. Rant away - then when you calm down, look at other things that your daughter is doing that upsets you. Make a written list and share them with her doctor. Ask if there is anything on that list that should be addressed by a psychologist or psychiatrist. Follow your heart - you know best. [/QUOTE]
