I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Hypermobile Type and Chiari Malformation too, my daughter also has the same type of EDS. I have loads of people on facebook with these same illnesses as at one time I did use a couple of groups for support so ended up meeting a lot of people with the same illness. There is this one woman who had a young son with EDS and about 2 years ago now he went into hospital, as far as I remember it was supposed to be for maybe a few weeks or so but he was in there for months and it was approaching christmas and his mother had set up a facebook page for him to be able to have a good christmas with him being stuck in there so long. I remember it well, it really did seem like he was possibly so bad he was dying or at least thats how it was potrayed, so christmas came and went and then moths and months went by and nobody heard a thing, many were wondering what was happened, some nosey of course some who were probably genuinly concerned, we all knew that there had been legal action taken against GOSH and of course there have been some other complaints made about GOSH aside from this one.
Then a few months ago this article appears in the paper about a child who has been sectioned and taken away from his parents and put into a psychiactric ward, no other information, the article was very pro the parents but it never covered any of the other stuff that was going on, then an article appeared on a website that covers news of this kind of thing and there was a court document about the child. There was mention of the time that he was first in the hospital around that christmas period where the mother came on and posted basically suggesting that they had got really bad news and that her child was dying, however this was not the case at all, the hospital wanted to discharge him and this is what she posted, then the mother and father were caught tampering with his tpn line which is I think for medication, theres a whole load of other stuff about this too, its interesting reading. Dont know whats going on now but the child in question was about to turn 16 shortly after he was taken to the psychiactric ward so it seems that they done this while they could to get him away from his parents. Its just a horrible situation really the only one I feel bad for is the child though, if his parents have been abusing him medically then its best for him to be away from them.
This link is the first article, there are further articles which are linked at the end of each one regarding this case. There are also a few posts on the Charlie Gard case too!! http://www.transparencyproject.org.uk/a-gifted-child-in-a-psychiatric-unit-should-we-be-worried-about-this-case/
