Shoved to Them
Thank all of you for your prayers, help, and advice about what’s ailing #4. We just got home from Children’s Hospital….that’s right, they sent us home.
After running more tests (including many that y’all suggested), they found nothing. She’s completely strong and healthy unless she tries to stand up and then her legs collapse. That didn’t seem to be a factor. We saw two neurologists, a rheumatologist, and the ER doc who came to the conclusion that it’s all in her head.
You read that right….it’s in her head.
They discharged her with a referral to a physical therapist and suggested that we find a psychiatrist. The doctors confessed that they had run out of ideas of what to test, and concluded that she must be imagining it….
because there’s no way it could be anything else. My level headed, extremely shy, straight shooting, no drama kid is attention seeking….that’s what the ruling was.
We disagree completely. The only question is what do we do now?
