I've had 3 kids down with the flu for 10 days including said daughter. The Dr weighed her and said she is a little underweight. She wants her to firstly recover from this virus and then have some blood tests and then go back to discuss the results and her general health & wellbeing. As she has been so sick with the flu she has been much more open to me helping her. Over the past few days I have been establishing some better eating patterns with her and she has been trying to eat as much as she can manage while sick. I didn't see her weight at the drs but she did, and she seems to be trying to eat more and more regularly since then even though she is sick. I think it helps that I'm preparing her 3 meals a day while she's recovering from the flu. Her mood seems a bit better too and she seems a little more open to me at the moment. Hopefully, she'll follow up with the dr in a couple of weeks and then we'll be able to think about what needs to happen going forward. One thing I'm wondering about is who her online friends are as while sick she was too unwell to go online and seemed much more open despite being so sick. Now she's feeling much better she's back online playing playstation and seems a little less open again, but I could just be imagining that as it's only been today that she's been up to it.
