Frazzled Mom Outside Looking In

My daughter of 15 soon to be 16 has a wrinkled bladder--and she might also have urinary reflux with kidney blockages. I can't do anything but watch her in pain and there's nothing I can do for her......They can't give her stronger pain meds cuz she's only 15. 25? I was typing she's 25 yrs I am so stressed. No--she's FIFTEEN. What are my options as a mother but sit here and watch her in pain? What can I do I want to cry. She's not here right now she's at a friend's house. My step kid was here earlier. I feel broken. I came here for support.

Sounsds like you might have to take her to different doctors and see what they say. There has to be an answer.

On top of it all I got my Script for Nutritonal Therapy--And I think my PCP can't give me what I need. I think I need to see my shrink. I think she has to give me the script that I need. I need a script for Emotional Eating Disorder! Duh! We already know I am considered Obese! That won't help me get coverage! though!

Kids in pain of any kind is the biggest challenge for moms. Your sweet baby is old enough to know that your ability to take away her physical pain is limited but your love, concern and support are neverending. In truth you're both hurting so pull out all the stops with comforting goodies. Light candles, play soothing music, massage her feet, comfy pjs, hot tea or cocoa. Show her you're with her every step of the way. Keeping you both in prayer.

hey princess, it is awful to see our kids in pain and feel so helpless. you're being there and being kind is the best thing in the world that you can do for her. I too would try for a second opinion, there must be some pain meds that would work for her. maybe try googling natural remedies to see if that helps. load up on the acetaminophen in the meantme and i hope she gets some relief. big fat hugs to you and all the comfort in the world.
