"You have no idea what it's like to almost lose your daughter and then to make the decision to have one of her breasts removed," she said. "Some people say 'It's just a breast.' They aren't an 18-year old girl. It's devastating for her and for the family." And what did you say, dear mom, when your 18 year old daughter came to you and told you that she was going to do this? "What a great idea? It will look soooo nice when you show all your friends and neighbours your breasts?" Sheeeesh.

I'm wondering if the mother even knew about it. Seems like the girl waited too long to get some medical attention - probably because she didn't want to tell her mom.
To: neverdem
Diabetic and she risked this? Poor thing, she evidently ain't got too many brains to risk either.
Just damn!

She's 18 years old. She didn't need to go to her mom and tell her she was doing this.

Fine... she didn't need to tell her Mom - so what? Does that mean the mom should have said nothing? At 18 she may be legally old enough but that doesn't mean that the mom should idly and quietly sit by when her daughter is about to do something totally stupid. I would hope that given what ultimately happened, the mom is able to say that she never knew what was going on because the daughter hid it from her until she was well and truly sick .... or she knew but couldn't persuade her daughter otherwise. Otherwise, she knew and approved of the initial piercings - and for both case was clueless on reading the signs when the daughter got sick. Both of these are not the signs of a decent mom.

Even if you're in the medical field, necrotizing fasciitis will just freaking amaze you with how fast it can progress, both locally and systemically. You can literally go from being healthy to being on death's doorstep in a matter of hours. And being diabetic is definitely an added risk factor. The layman's term is usually "flesh eating bacteria" and most of these lay terms are inaccurate or exaggerated but in this case, it's pretty darn accurate. Bad scene, all the way around. And smells horrendous too, I might add.

Edington is diabetic, which left her susceptible to infection, he said. I feel very sorry for her but DANG! How stupid can you be? Diabetics have trouble healing in the first place and should keep a careful eye on any wounds.

I think it's not so much that she's afraid of what people may be thinking as what she KNOWS people WILL be thinking. I wonder if her parents encouraged her to get the piercing. Was this their birthday present to her or was it a present she bought for herself? What could she have been thinking? She must have been dreaming of some kind of fantasy thing like, 'The Emancipation of Stephanie!', or some weird thing like that. She should spend some time on the high school circuit warning of the dangers of piercing.

KIds do what they want anyway...and ask forgiveness after the fact. You're lucky if you get any sayso over what they do. At 18, she might not even have lived at home. You certainly don't have any legal control over them. Frequently your only choice is kick them out or deal with it when things hit the fan.
