Thanks for the info Troubledmom.
We have actually been talking to DD's Dr. about this for a while now. A new update after talking to DD tonight. Her dad will be home in time to take her to the appointment so I'm not allowed to go now. Like I said before I work maybe 10 miles from Shriners so I told DD that even if someone else took her I could get there for the appointment. DD doesn't want me around her dad and SM because they are too immature to be in the same room with me.
Pretty sad huh?
I will just have to wait until after her appointment and call and talk to her Dr. She only gets seen once a year now unless there is a problem so I assume they will not have her back until next year. That could be her last appointment but we will have to wait and see. Her dad doesn't think she even needs them, even though Shriners has made unbelievable improvements for my DD.
DD ask me recently if next year would be her last appointment because she will turn 18 before the next appointment. I told her and she knows that I have been discussing this time of her life with the Dr. for a long time. My DD wants to continue to see her Dr. in private practice once she has to leave Shriners care. I told her that since I'm not in charge of that anymore and her dad is the one making the decision, I don't even know if she will go next year, much less what will happen after that.
I know if I tell them I am going next year no matter who takes her then her dad won't have any part of it. That is the way it is now. If I say I'm going to be at an appointment or meeting he doesn't go. Only 2 times has he shown up when I planned to be there.
Anyway, thank you for the info. I can only wait and see what happens.
