This Crazy Life

I know a big fear of caregivers to someone with an active ED is a stomach bug.  How do you deal with them being sick but keeping them fed.  Well we found out this weekend.  She started being sick 3am Saturday morning.  By Sunday morning she could not keep anything down.  They gave her iv fluids Sunday evening.  She was really concerned about getting in trouble.  Everyone reassured her she wouldn’t.  They knew she was sick.  She wasn’t purging.  Except for her dietician.  Now she has supplements from all the meals/snacks she missed on Sunday following her.  She was actually able to complete her meal plan yesterday.  In full.  Which I was pleased with as usually after a major stomach bug it takes a couple of days to get back up to regular eating.  But expecting her to eat normal plus make up for a day when she was sick makes zero sense to me.  Zero.  Yes, it sucks she was sick.  But why can’t we just write it off as an off day.  In fact that’s what I’m going to request today.  I may also ask for a dietician change.  I have not liked her dietician from the beginning.  She’ll never meet w/ my daughter.  She’s one of those people that thinks she knows everything and thinks everything has to be done a certain way.  A way that isn’t going to work.  I can promise you that.  It’s really frustrating.
