After the relief when her weight finally went up substantially, the next visit 3 weeks later was a shock. We had followed the diet plan and also the doc's instructions not to weigh her at home. She took SE to the weighing machine... and came back with a grim expression. SE's weight had dropped back to the original of 26kg.
Doubts returned. How could this happen? She was eating more, we made sure of that, also taking milk twice a day. How was it possible for her weight to drop? Even if she was dumping her lunch while at school, surely the other meals were sufficient for sustenance? What could be wrong?
No choice now. I agreed to meds to reduce anxiety and increase appetite which I'd earlier declined when doc suggested. Also agreed to her advice to stop SE from schooling.
No good. Too thin
Stop schooling? I thought tht would have impact on her mental well being coz she don't get to meet & socialize with schoolmates😥
ReplyDeleteI think it could be peer pressure at school that cause her to want to have a waif appearance so stop schooling should be ok because can do home schooling at home. Perfectly ok to home school.
DeleteOh sorry. Stop schooling was for the moment, not forever.
DeleteYeah doc cited the fact that SE had mentioned she felt her friends were talking about her as a reason to stop her from school.
DeleteI 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 that the meds and home schooling would work to increase SE weight because getting her body back to health is the 1st step.
ReplyDeleteHome schooling would not be a good option - we don't have the expertise to carry it through for one thing. This was a desperate measure. As you mentioned, health comes first.
DeleteFrom what I know, some of my friends home school their children so I believe home schooling in Klang valley has developed for some years now.
