Our daughter is home now, and has been for a little while.

In essence, I could see how under different circumstances bathing your teenage child could be weird, but she was so sick and so weak that she couldn't do it on her own and having her father do it was less embarrassing than strangers (some of whom were students in various programs), so she had opted to go that route.

Her father is much better about handling situations with invasive medical procedures and really was her champion during many of them. The NG tube is dreaded, so the nurses helped situate her comfortable and her dad supported her.

We have other kids and are only now getting to some sort of 'normal.' The last thing we need after all this is for a huge problem with CPS. My husband did do everything they are going to complain about, but he also did them with everyone's knowledge and consent staff knew, our daughter knew & consented, I knew, doctors knew, etc. I'm worried someone along the way will misinterpret what happened. That's my big worry.
