Tubes in his ears EIGHT TIMES?? Does he have
any hearing left?? There has to be so much scar tissue that if he doesn't have hearing problems now, he will eventually. And what ENT (otolaryngologist) would willingly do that type of surgery so many time? Was it the same surgeon each time? Or was there more than one for the same problem? If it was the latter, then Munchausen's by Proxy is a definite possibility. Cosmetic surgery because she doesn't like the way his ears
look? This is downright absurd!
Tibia and skull reconstruction, spine surgery, decompression of the brain...........is that from an accident? If not, is there some genetic deformity that was discovered? And if your atty. brought up Munchausen's in the past, why wasn't it pursued? In fact, another big sign is how many practitioners/surgeons/hospitals have been involved in your son's care since birth and how many of those treated your child for similar conditions? In other words, the ex making sure the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.....
I'm sorry........too many questions! I take it that you do not have joint
legal custody, so that she has sole discretion on giving permission for any surgery or treatment. And I bet she fought for that long and hard. The Munchausen's flag is whipping in the wind if the answers to all these questions are what I think they are. If my hunch is correct, you should tell your atty. you are ready to investigate the Munchausen's possibility to the fullest.........or it's posssible your ex will either maim or kill your child in the name of 'modern healthcare'.........
The biggest job will be getting copies of all your child's
medical records....and you need ALL of them. If you live in a large metro area, it will be that much more difficult, as there will be so many for her to choose from. Key areas to watch for are doctor and nursing notes from hospitalizations that describe how 'devoted' the mother appears to the child. Seeing it once or twice may not be much, but repeatedly is suspicious as well.
