[quote=Anonymous]OMG everyone needs to lay off PP and acting like she must immobilize and force-feed her child cheeseburgers or else.  I am pretty attuned to people's writing styles that suggest they are pushing their eating issues onto their kids, and I see nothing at all of that in OP's statements.  All I see is that she  has rather disjointed care at Children's, without being given a good sense of plan A and plan B, and when this becomes a medical crisis that would necessitate a feeding tube.  (Which - is not surprising about Childrens.  Over on the special needs board you can talk to MANY parents who deal with issues at Childrens with coordination of care and administrative issues.)

The thing OP should do is beat down the DOCTOR'S door to figure out why things are so serious as to have the feeding tube on the table.  OP's original question was borne out of the confusion of the mixed messages she's getting from her DD's team. On the one hand -- keep going and come back in 3 months!  On the other hand -- we may have to do a feeding tube!  Those two things don't really match up.

If I were OP I'd also get a second opinion with respect to the eating disorder, at CHOP or in Boston or wherever the #1 eating disorder place is.  [/quote]
