[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 381884, member: 7371"] Jena, My heart goes out to you and to difficult child. I know you're beyond exhausted, and scared. I've been following your posts, and you're doing an amazing job of handling what must seem like an impossible situation. Just wondering... is the clinic's approach part of their diagnostic process so they can see for themselves how she reacts to food before they proceed with treatment? They may have a different perspective, as difficult children tend to deal differently with "outsiders" than they do with parents. I'm not saying the clinic's view is right; it just may be different. I know that things are not going the way you had hoped, but at least she's under regular observation by medical professionals who can act quickly if they need to. I think you need to ask yourself if she's better or worse off than she was at home. I'm hoping you can get the insurance issues resolved and at least stick it out through the weekend (and get some sleep!), then go into the Monday meeting with lots of questions, especially regarding how they address food/choking phobia vs. other eating disorders. Also, what are they seeing, and what is their plan for dealing with it? Many hugs & prayers. :praying: [/QUOTE]
