[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 216658, member: 1233"] Jo, I totally think htis was "rant-worthy"! Your kid knowingly made herself sick enough to need a trip to the ER? I would rant! The ER, knowing she needed food in her system, ignored her? I would rant. That awful beeping from the IV machine went off for an HOUR? I would have grabbed a nurse by the shirt and DRAGGED ehr in. I am sorry your daughter's behavior made your family lose the equivalent of 1 1/2 day's pay (1/2 day for you, H and easy child), plus all the time in the uncomfortable chair at the hospital, adn whatever charges for the ER visit. Good call on making difficult child pay the copay! It may well be the only thing that motivates her to change this pattern. But please don't ignore that she may well and truly be on the way to an eating disorder, or have one and be somewhat successfully hiding it from you. You may want to send the doctor a "heads up" to be aware of it or look for it. I hope you make difficult child pay the copay for the follow up doctor visit also. If nothing else, take the value of htese out of what you were going to spend on her at Christmas, and give her a "giftcard" for the cost fo the hospital bill she owes. It maight get the point across as effectively as anything else that this is NOT something seh should continue. I hope the boyfriend's lack of attentiveness to this will help curb the problem. It is hard when they rock on the drama of this kind of thing. Hugs and a cuppa your favorite beverage to get you through the after-effects of this. This stuff is hard on moms! [/QUOTE]
