I am sorry you have been through so much. It does hurt to see your child hurt. Her emotions have always been close to the surface since birth - it's who she is - but she's smart, funny and very empathetic. When she was seven I suffered a vaccine reaction that left me disabled and in constant severe pain. We traveled to Drs and specialists for pain treatments, andI had surgery out-of-state - twice - to relieve compression on sick nerves. It was a hard thing for her to deal with at that age, and I've never been fully myself since. So for me to see her suffer is terribly hard - how much is because of what she went through because of me - even though I couldn't help what happened? But life hands out lemons and you just deal the best you can, right?

I appreciate your insight - it's been a few years since I was in college:-) I think it's likely she will come home for a semester, take a class or two at the local community college and see a local counselor, then we'll look for a school that's a better fit for next year. The one down side is this school was in the town I grew up in - her other grandparents are there, and they will be disappointed as they looked forward to seeing her more often - and that was a plus for her too. But if she's not happy, it's not going to work, so.... She's thinking things over, tomorrow we're talking to the Dr about getting a letter supporting her dx, and finding out what resources they have for ADA, and then she's going to talk things over with her HS music director who was a big influence and support. She went to church with her dad today, who plays in a praise band, and sang, which was a good thing - though she didn't get real sleep last night. Hope we get the Med situation figured out for her as it has not been good so far. Thanks for caring :-)
