My 18 year old daughter is a type 1 diabetic, and she is still in high school, and up until 3 weeks ago was here at home. She has no job and if she doesnt come home soon I will have to let medicaid know that she is no longer in the home. She is on several medications as well as insulin and with out the medicaid she wont have access to her medications. I know I cant force her home, but this is tearing me up. Any advice would be better than what I have now. |

I'm so sorry, I can only imagine the pain/worry you are going thru right now. I really don't know how to advise ...there is nothing the law can do since she is 18.Hopefully she will soon realize she needs her medicine and come back home.I wish I could offer you more. My heart and prayers are with you and your daughter. MaryB |

You can only hope that she has the sense to come home when her meds run out. Eventually, she will either realize she is better off at home where she can take care of herself, or she will wind up in a hospital. If she is a sensible girl, she will call you before that happens. The law consideres a child to be an adult at the age of 18, so there is probably not much you can do but wait. I'm sorry for what you must be going through. Please keep us posted, and let us know if you find her...we worry around here! My prayers are with you and your daughter. sheryl |

Welcome Abbi to the group first of all! My heart just breaks at what you must be going through with worry over your daughter being gone now for 3 weeks! Does she keep in touch with you at all? Do you know any of her friends who she might be in contact with? If so call them and let them know how much you are worried about her and her health. Ask her to just call you so you can talk. I'm very sorry again for the pain. I don't have any great advice for you on how to get her the medications she needs. I hope she is one sensible girl and realizes how much trouble she is going to be in if she doesn't take her meds as directed! Please let us know what is going on! Sheryl is right,,, once we know of a problem around here,,, we usually keep thinking of the person and worry if we don't hear anything else! Will keep your entire family in my prayers! Hang in there and again welcome,,, Cuddles/Kathy |

Hi again Abbi,,, Just wanted to mention that you might be getting alot of messages into your mailbox from this group! Right now you have all the messages coming directly to your email box. If that is the way you want it,,, it is o.k. to do it that way. Just thought if you might not want a full box of all the messages. If you want to change it just click the link below: Change your email settings to read Messages on the web! That will stop all the messages from filling up your box. Hope that made sense and helped! Hugs, Cuddles/Kathy |
