Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 The pediatrician had called because, get this, she had called in > a script for iron drops and I hadn't picked it up yet two days later. Oh and > I was a horrible mother because I had to cancel a doctor's appointment at > the last minute too and hadn't rescheduled yet. ???? I leave my kid's meds at the pharmacy sometimes for a week? There were times I couldn't afford to get them too! Was your child severely anemic or something? I guess I could see it being called in if there was a serious risk to health, but for normal everyday meds, I don't think so. > to do " something " about 9 months later - after my meds failed me). They were going to take my kids away that day but they were asleep and I think (hopefully) the nasty worker could tell that I wouldn't knowingly hurt my own children. This would concern me. Being suicidal can really impact your children. In my case, when I was going through that, I knew that my daughter would be sent to live with her real father. I didn't know he was a child raper at the time, but I knew he was very unstable for her. I also knew the only way to prevent her from growing damaged beyond belief was to take her with me. I never did anything though. I don't think anyone ever knew how bad off I was either (this was years ago). You might think that is very twisted, but it made perfect sense to me under the circumstances. If I ever got that bad off again, my daughter would be well taken care of by my husband who adopted her. Her real father is in prison for 45 years so there is no threat of him anymore. I really don't see this ever being an issue (suicide) again, but you never know...when the circumstances are right, and the depression is too much....

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 The one time Dakota ran outside naked I was talking to the neighbor. He had been in the tub (Atlanta was supposed to watch him for a couple mins, didn't think it was that hard a job) and ran outside naked and wet. started laughing hysterically. I guess it was funny to her because her kids don't do things like that to her. LOL!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 That's ok, when we were getting the first stupid CPS thing under control (the complaint being not meeting the kids developemental needs ~ the real issue was someone didn't agree with me homeschooling an autistic child) the ped we were using threatened to call CPS on me again because we had taken Dalton in for his check up after a three day hospital stay for an UTI. He had lost weight. Well, in the freaking hospital all the brought me was formula for him and no food. He was eating solid food at the time, and a lot of it. Of course he is going to freaking loose weight...and all my kids are small anyway. But she told me that she was going to call CPS if he didn't gain weight because they had been involved before (I doubt that she even knew what was going on because the other dr in the practice that had left seen our kids and talked to the social worker. This bitch dr. only knew that we were a " problem " for social services. Yea, we were a problem for them because we got a lawyer involved and made them stop harassing us. I did not like this other dr and went back to the original ped office that we left because the support staff at the one office (they have three) that we used SUCKED! When I called and talked to them because we wanted to go back, and explained what had happened they were shocked and moved the kids records down to the office where the business office was where we wouldn't have any more problems with the staff. I haven't had Daltons last set of shots yet and they are way past due. I am waiting to talk to Dr. Cosmas next month when he goes in for his eval and get her opinion on giving them to him. I am really afraid of making things worse. Thinking back here I am almost possitive that those two UTIs that he had came after shots. Hmmmm...... On another related note, several months ago our lawyer called us that the new social worker who was assigned to the case still had not seen the kids. Our lawyer basically threatened them with harassment and discrimanation charges because they had said crap like " You have so many children you can't possibly take care of them " and were just hung up on the fact that we have 7 kids and they weren't in school where " they could be accounted for.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Well I have to admit it - my child was anemic at the time, not dangerously so but his level was low. BUT when I talked with the doctor about it (a different doctor than the one who called) she said that as long as we started choosing iron-rich foods for him we could just pick the medicine up when we could. Did I mention this same child saw a dietician every week who wasn't concerned about this eiither? Well, he was. And she helped me get iron-rich foods into him every day. She beleived that his reading was flawed, because she said it was too low for a kid who ate as well as he did - and when we retook it at the new doctor's office his level came back normal. So I find it difficult to beleive that I seriuosly damaged him in any way. He was a preemie in the first case - so the fact that we had gotten his weight up was a good thing at the time. So yes he was anemic but did anyone tell me he would die if I didn't get his medicine within a couple of days - no! So if you can't tell I am still a little upset about that. As far as being depressed, suicidal. Before this incident I was depressed and under my doctor's care - and on Prozac. But I wasn't suicidal. This incident directly impacted my very ability to live. Did I mention that I lived in a very abusive home with my father and he often told me that he would get even with me for calling welfare on him - so I lived in constant fear that someone would think I was a bad mother anyway - sometimes I still do. But I really wasn't suicidal until after. And my husband was great caring for the kids during this time, even though they felt the affects of it. I hate that - but it's a part of my life that I can't do anything about anymore. So anyway I rambled quite enough! I appreciate the support from everyone.

They both work, they are never home and they just want the basic cleaning to get done. So the cleaners did not have to work very hard. Not true in my house. They had to work and apparently they did not like it at all. I also think that they resented ME. I had no job and apparently enough money to hire them (they all had kids) so why didn't I clean up my own darned mess. Salli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
