I am so sick of my teenage CFer not giving a shit about her health! She has recently lost a lot of weight because she was sick her doctor is concerned and we have 8 weeks to turn it around and start going back up. Im afraid that he will do something drastic if she hasnt put on enough weight. He wants her to drink carnation or ensure 2 times a day to add the extra calories to her diet. Ok so I get that they dont taste great but COME ON! This is important! Why does she fight me on this? Why cant she just suck it up and drink them like she is supposed to until her weight is back up? If I dont tell her to do it she doesnt do it and then gets upset when something goes wrong or I start telling her again. Im at my wits end. Im so concerned and I just dont know what to do. Once a feeding tube is put in can it be taken out or do the always have to have it? How bad does it have to be before the doctors will decide to go that route. I just dont want this to happen and Im afraid that she wont care enough to prevent it. She has been at the bottom of the range they want her at since her admission last year hasnt gained any weight then lost 5lbs that she couldnt afford to loose. I just dont know what to do anymore. Rant over...
