[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 397469, member: 1233"] From what I can see you don't really have a lot of options. Have you asked easy child what her preferences are? I think marg is right. Talk to the school, explain the situation, and take both girls to Oregon. The longer you wait the worse difficult child is going to get. She won't be strong enough to make the trip if you wait much longer, esp if you plan to drive that far. Or else have easy child stay at your parents, or have husband change his schedule so that he can be there for easy child in the evenings. Does easy child have a best friend? Someone she would be willing to stay with, and parents who would help you out if you paid for room and board? Otherwise you may want to fly to Oregon with difficult child, get her settled and fly home to be with easy child. You will have to fly back and forth a bit, but would be able to really let difficult child settle into the program and learn to be her own person with-o so much dependence on you. What does the program recommend? Have you checked for programs in other states? Regardless of what you do for/with easy child, difficult child is facing like threatening issues if she doesn't get real, intense help very very soon. Not just having no calories. Her body will break itself down, releasing toxins and it will damage her organs (among other body parts). Dehydration is even worse. I just cannot understand why the family doctor hasn't put her in the hospital for at least iv fluids and possible a feeding tube. At this point she is likely to need a feeding tube just so she can get the strength to face the therapy. [/QUOTE]
