DD1 has always been on the slim side. Weight around the 25th centile, height around the 25th-50th.
She goes to Special School, and I commented that she seems to find eating hard work if she isn't well supported (she has a special chair at home). OT took a look, and decided that the tables were too high for her, and so ordered a Breezi chair. Schhol say she eats well at lunch time, but tends to get tired when eating, so they help her by loading the spoon, etc.
At her last Paed appt. (early February), she weighed 19.7kg. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that she seemed to have lost weight - her ribs were clearly visible and her shoulder blades seemed 'boney'. I weighed her, and her weight had dropped to 18.1kg. Yesterday, she went on a school trip and wore leggings. The waist band was so loose it was only her hips that kept the leggings up. I weighed her today and she is down to 17.7kg.
I think I need to take her to the GP, but does anyone have any ideas?
She hasn't seemed well since she stopped her epilepsy meds in December. Coincidence maybe, but since stopping the meds she's had 3 drops and a few absences (EEG results are awaited). She has had a continual cough since January which didn't respond to antibiotics. She has been diagnosed asthmatic and now has a steroid inhaler to take twice per day, and needs ventolin at school on at least 3 out of 5 days.
She is very anxious at the moment - moving house very soon, sudden emergence of separation anxiety, school refusal starting, anxiety about Mummy dying.
I'm worried about her
