Hello joshuas-mommy: My understanding of Munchausen is that it involves one person (frequently a parent) who intentionally harms another person, usually a child, so that the parent can take the child to the hospital & thereby gain attention & sympathy for themselves from hospital personnel. If this is accurate (I don't know how accurate it is) then what you're observing does not seem to me to fit. But, of course, I'm certainly no expert.
