[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 506509, member: 11791"] Susie... Jess is 15. In our part of the world, that's a grey area. For MH stuff, they want you using "youth" psychiatrists and tdocs. But for physical stuff... you can go either way. If the psychiatrist and therapist are behind you on this, between you can you find out who the top-notch adult specialsts would be? And then start a campaign to get her seen by them because the pediatrician-level doctors are not able to help? Who says there has to be a split between pediatrician. and adult for most things, anyway. Do they require you to go to a pediatric orthopedist to get a broken wrist set for a kid? Next... can you get your hands on a used hospital bed? If this is going to be even medium term, and it might be, its a better option than the recliner. You can set the slope of the top half, then pull the knees up sligtly, and she won't go sliding "down", but its a LOT more comfortable than the recliner. Worrisome thought: the pediatrician docs might actually know what is going on, and it might be the kind of thing that they just don't want to put a label on... Know what I mean?? Especially if there really isn't anything they can do to help? That doesn't excuse their behavior at all - and in any case, they have a "duty of care" that includes things like comfort - and fighting for air is NOT "comfort". [/QUOTE]
