This Crazy Life

PHP has been a disaster already.  She’s not eating.  She’s refusing supplement.  She now has supplement following her and is sitting in “sit” while she’s in programming.  She’s eating at home.  Kind of.  Only what she’ll eat and not enough.  She won’t eat anything from me.  She’s already concerned about oil being added to food. …

Once again, I’m preparing to pick up my life and move it so I can supervise her during PHP.  A big difference this time is I told them I could only do 2 weeks.  It’s going to end up being about 2.5, but close enough.   If she was in a better mindset or if I…

A year and a half ago I did a comparison post between Veritas and ERC Dallas.  Veritas won hands down.  There were so many things I didn’t like about ERC Dallas.  Because of that I was nervous going to ERC Denver.  On the message boards ERC Dallas and usually recommended as the place of choice…

Reading my last post I was in a good spot.  I’m currently not.  How was that last post only a weekish ago.  How things can change and go south fast.   Nothing has really changed other than my mind set.  It hit me this weekend that how is it possible that 10 years old would be…

Often the new year brings a lot of diet and weight loss and exercise resolutions.  But this year, I’ve seen a lot more “happy” resolutions.  One tik toker is going to pet 100 cats this year.  Another one is going to say no more.  I’ve seen a lot of ins and outs for 2024 with…

We just got back from our first planned vacation without her.  She didn’t go to Montana with us in July as she was in residential, but she had an airplane ticket and reservations to go.  This trip.  She didn’t have any of that.  You know it was a hard thing to do, but in all…

She’s still inpatient.  We’re in her sixth week.  She’s getting antsy, she’s gaining weight and she’s stuck.  This is where it starts to get hard so we’ll see how she does, if she can break through or back down.  She really wanted to move to residential so she could leave the unit with her dad…

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…

So of course, I’ve been thinking.  I mean what else would I do when I’m trying to turn off my brain and fall asleep.  Her current psychologist has talked to her quite a bit about doing an oil exposure.  But she doesn’t think it will really help anything and I really don’t disagree.  She doesn’t…
