My wife's X is withholding medical treatment...
My SD7 is on a prescribed diet for seizures and has been for almost a year. So far, it is helping greatly, from 120 seizures a day to 0, yes zero, in the last 8 months. This diet it strict, and for a 7yo it sucks. We just found out that on the nights that the BioD has the girls, he is feeding her normal pizza, which is NOT part of the diet, it goes against every part of the diet.... What can be done? She is telling us that this has been going on for a while and he tells her to lie to us about it or she will get in trouble. I feel that is it withholding medical treatment, her seizures caused her to have to repeat the 1st grade and have major issues in regards to social and emotional development, and they are finally stopped. He agreed to the diet, and has never fought it, I guess because he didn't intend on doing it in the first place... Any thoughts? thanks!
I would have your DW talk to
I would have your DW talk to her x and if nothing changes it needs to be put in the CO. Seizures can cause serious issues. It can also damage the girls development. Also teach your SD what she can and can not eat and why. Help her understand that it is to keep her healthy. I have seen it happen to my aunt's son. She didn't follow the doctors instructions about diets with help of the medication and his seizures continued. Now he is 9 years old and at the mental state of a 3 year old. He doesn't even have motor skills down.
