The evil is back.
My beautiful, wonderful DD1 who gives her all caring for others (she is a doctor) is currently in her own hospital, a 6 stone skeleton where tomorrow she will get a naso gastric tube to start refeeding her . She has a BMI of 12.9
She also has a rare medical condition (EDS) which has now affected her stomach... always thin, and having beaten anorexia once, she started to feel very nauseous when she ate, and despite prescribed build up drinks she has just lost and lost, and now she is scared to eat because it hurts.
Endoscopy and tube placement tomorrow.
She has struggled on , working flat out for so long while battling her own health but was admitted on Monday too weak to continue.
It's not fair. My precious girl cares for everyone but herself. Her wife is beside herself with trying to care for her. I've been through this before and it's hideous. And she doesn't want to be like this... the EDS has triggered her fear of food, 8 years after she last recovered,
I'm in a Premier Inn nearby for a few days (she lives 4 hours away) and I'm sticking on my 'it will be ok' face but inside I'm breaking. And she hates that her colleagues are all aware now (though they can't NOT have been aware of how ill she is...it's horribly obvious on a 5 ft 10 woman)
She's my baby and she is so so unwell...
