Okay, so tbh I watched the videos about Lonnie and I think they did a good job explaining things. A lot of it reminds me of someone I live with, so I can understand how things can escalate and it's very rare that someone with those diagnoses is open to going and getting an assessment let alone sharing it on YouTube... if you have someone in your life with any of those diagnoses, usually how it goes is you are lucky to still be alive for just mentioning going to see a therapist. So I am kind of shocked about how much was shared. I wonder if Stephanie suffered for it afterwards in some way though, which is scary to think about. I also wonder if he will use it against her by saying, well I did this so you owe me etc... unless he really is a great guy who just happens to have all those issues, but even if he was the best guy on earth, that combo of issues is sure to get the better of him more often than not...
Why the hell is Noah in a wheelchair?
I think she has surrounded herself with the type of doctors and medical professionals that do things other doctors and medical professionals wouldn't usually do - "recommending" a wheelchair for a 15 year old who predominantly has just a dislocating knee. There are steps in between that have been just skipped over. I'm speaking as someone with a medical condition that causes my joints to sublux and dislocate often as well as numerous other orthopaedic issues. To stop my knee dislocating, I use custom shoe orthotics and a knee brace. Here she is putting the kid in a wheelchair and lining him up for surgery. How about getting a 2nd opinion about the surgery? It just doesn't happen like this in my experience - to have doctors telling you to get a wheelchair off the internet for your teenager. It just doesn't sound right.
Another curve ball - talking about getting a G tube for Lex who apparently doesn't eat or drink. Again, that's not something doctors rush in to do. It's a last resort for when there are literally no options left for you. I don't mean to keep bringing myself into this but just trying to give context of why I know "this ain't right" (sorry for being cringe), I have experience with having a severe and chronic GI condition that tends to require a G tube. I do not have a G Tube because they are the absolute last resort, live or die situation. Does Lex have a GI condition or does he just have food aversions, because I find it really really odd that the doctor's apparent first reaction was to do major surgery and cut a whole in his abdomen. It just doesn't happen like that. I am getting munchie vibes from Stephanie. I think she is setting up these conversations with these doctors, for example asking if she can get a wheelchair for Noah and manipulating the doctor's words into what she wants to here, and then telling youtube that she is just following doctors advice. That's not how these things work, Stephanie. You have viewers who know how the medical system works and doctors don't just jump into the worst case scenario!
I dont want to put Stephanie down, but her last video for sure gives me big questions about what is really going on in her kids doctor's appointments.
Ps, I'm not trying to dismiss her kids having medical needs. I'm just noticing that they may or may not be what we are being told.
what signs Stephanie has vlogged for a year she had none. Gotta cash in on the latest autism cash cow. $$$
