Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 As many of you know, I have gone through a horrible divorce this past yr. 's doctor stepped up and protected her from the medical incompitence of her father and he can only visit her in my home. Drew is 13 and has chosen to not go with Jeff. In short, Jeff has not chosen to learn anything about mito in th past three yrs we have dealt with it because of . He lives in denial. Molly just began to go for overnights with him in the spring (because of her age) and that is when she began to present. She has had constant exhaustion, low grade temps, dehydration, and heat exhaustion upon returning from his home. When she was officially diagnosed this week he told me " I am optomistic she will live a normal life and grow out of it " . Do you see what I mean? Her doctor(pediatrician who knows little of mito) told me that he doesn't want to get dragged into court (I think Jeff has threatened him). I am frightened. Do you know how hard it is for us to expalin mito to ER docs? try explaining it to a judge or court worker or laywer. No one cares. One mistake and she can die. I am trying to get help from her mito doc but we have seen him once, so I can't imagine he will want o get involved. No one wants to protect her. I will go to jail- but how will that help them? any ideas would really help. I cannot believe it has really come to this. It really is that bad, and the court system is really that stupid. Any help would be appreciated. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
