Funny how Riley’s “biggest advocate” who “constantly fights for her” hasn’t been the parent to take her to hospital either this time or the last… this Mumma needs to be with the “baby” more apparently!
She’s absolutely frothing that after not doing anything proactive for two years, finally it’s reached a crisis point with a <rolls eyes> Friday afternoon ED presentation and the possibility of an NG tube - finally she’s made it to elevated Medical Mumma status!
She’s not been thickening Riley’s fluids, as recommended by the speech pathologist she last saw months ago, (how do I know? because she’s never mentioned it again and lord knows it doesn’t take a lot of time but it’s “different” enough that we’d have never heard the end of it if she actually was doing it!), she’s not bothered trying to get her to drink from anything other than those stupid cups with straws they ALL drink through (drinking thickened fluids through a straw is not easy, actually difficult with thickened fluids, especially if the person has swallowing difficulties) or used reward charts or done anything other than videoing herself literally wrestling with Riley.
Forgive this public health speechie who’s sick to death of people blaming the public health system and those of us who work within it for letting them down while refusing to implement recommendations for whatever reasons they deem more important than the health of their person… laziness, Munchausen’s-by-proxy, prioritizing getting more followers to watch them posing in ugly shackets and awful-bike-pants-that-need-to-be-burned…
And exhale…
