I dont know. He mentioned a medication that she was on, Baclofen. Baclofen isn't a pain med though, but a muscle relaxant. It can help with pain, by lowering the tight muscle tone that many brain injured people have, but it can take weeks to have any effect. At one point he blamed the Baclofen for her pain, but I think he was just trying to find something to lay the onus on. She'd obviously had quite a few of those incidents, so I dont know why he wouldn't have talked to her doctors to create a plan when she has an episode that would address and relieve her pain quickly, especially when it gets to the point of her shrieking in agony. I do have my suspicions though...RE: the horrific vids of her in pain with her sociopathic father filming it.... I don't get uncomfortable easily, but this was profoundly disturbing. What I want to know is, why the fuck would they not have pain medication on hand for her - and a strong one at that - for this tortuous pain that obviously is a regular occurrence?
He seems to have a lot doctors appointments and medical treatments for her and most of them appear to be standard western medicine type of therapies. I believe he's gone the experimental route a few times, but for the most part he seems to stick to traditional medicine. Which is why its weird that he has no way to help her when she's screaming her head off in agony, other than to hold her and occasionally press on her back.Are they like Gwen Hartley or the Empathic Nutritionist, forgoing pain meds for their profoundly disabled children in favor of reiki and "natural remedies"?
I think he just likes to portray himself as the heroic, but long suffering father, who feels so bad when his daughter is in pain and he cant help her. If he could give her medication that made her feel better in 10 minutes, then he couldn't make sad videos wearing a serious and concerned look on his face, while he spends hour upon hour holding his daughter in his lap while she screams and cries.
