Acacia Kersey: Brinley Makes a Mess, Jairus is Under Stress

[ebony_]

I’m torn about the diet. It’s clear Rosie is missing nutrients hence the prescription formula (that she took her off) and the talk of feeding tubes and g tubes.

I’m assuming humans need certain nutrients to build muscle. I’m not a doctor but I assume we don’t just build muscle, you need nutrients and exercise. That’s why gym junkies have very particular diets so they are getting muscle building nutrients.

If Rosie isn’t getting the nutrients she needs, it may not be possible for her to build the muscle she needs to be able to hold herself up. We need core muscles and neck muscles to hold ourselves and Rosie clearly doesn’t have those and may not be getting the nutritional requirements to develop them.

That being said, it may he nutrient based but it could also be exercise based. Obviously if you have nutrition, you still need exercise to build muscle. This could be achieved with PT but if acacia isn’t doing that, I don’t know what hope Rosie has. Even if she is getting nutrients she needs to be exercising to build muscle.

At the end of the day, we will never know. I doubt she would admit to never doing PT so it’s easy for her to blame it on the diet because it’s not like we can speak to her doctors. If Rosie gets a feeding tube/G tube and is still not building muscle mass, that’s when I’m going to be getting real worked up because diet is no longer an excuse.

protein is the main muscle building nutrient so I think that does probably complicate things especially if she won't eat the formula that has the easy to digest protein to protect her liver.

Someone that knows more about what I’m trying to talk about, thank you.

I know so many people (not just OP, it happens frequently) write off the diet as an excuse. It definitely could be an excuse, but I genuinely think she is telling the truth.

If she isn’t getting enough protein to build muscle, she obviously won’t be able to support herself/hold herself up. Definitely exercise and PT plays a part, but if she can’t build muscle mass, the exercise isn’t going to be effective

Totally agree with you morganebony!

Rosie’s situation is so rare that I can’t bring myself to put all the blame on Acacia and Jairus. Even if they did everything they possibly could, it might just be a situation where Rosie won’t make a lot of noticeable improvements. Everyone will just have to accept that reality and wish Rosie all the beat if that’s the case.

I’m no doctor but I think it’s pretty likely that Rosie just has some certain limitations BUT A+J could have done more.

Like morganebony said, I also don’t think that Acacia is intentionally neglectful or malicious. I think she’s incredibly immature and, honestly, not that bright but I don’t think she’s necessarily mean spirited. I think a lot of her faults stem from immaturity rather than ill intent but of course that doesn’t excuse any of the effects of her actions.

I really thought that having a disabled child was going to force her to grow up and she most definitely has as I can’t imagine the mental strength it takes to go through all the appointments and procedures. But she still has so much more to go and that’s normal for a 22 year old but it’s concerning when said 22 year old has 2 kids, wants another baby, an exhausted husband, and 2 dogs.

When I think of Acacia, I think of the song in the Little Mermaid - Poor unfortunate souls

I do also partly believe that money is a big contributing factor here but not in the expected way.

A obviously has the money to provide Rosie with everything she needs. I’m sure a lot of parents of kids with disabilities have a lot of trouble paying for medical. I have heard the US healthcare system is pretty ridiculous with costs.

Acacia for years now has been able to fix every (public) problem with money. They practically got kicked out of the trailer and instantly got a massive beautiful house with no credit. If Brinley destroys the walls of the rental Acacia can pay someone to come and clean/re-paint it. The RV had problems and it was instantly fixed. She needs a getaway and they are going to Disney with less than a week notice. All of a sudden she wants to impulse buy a puppy? No worries.

Now we get to Rosie. Yes, she can throw money at therapies, surgeries, doctors and specialists but she will never “fix” Rosie. Rosie can never be “fixed”. She will always have the chromosome disorder and ACC.

That’s fine, but I genuinely can’t think of a time where Acacia has actually had to troubleshoot and put effort into something. Rosie’s condition requires learning and research which takes time and Acacia isn’t used to that. She is used to instant gratification and just throwing money at something to fix it. I can imagine most parents of kids with disabilities don’t have as much money as A. I’m sure most parents do as much for their kids as possible at home to advance them as much as possible but Acacia always knows she will be able to afford the surgeries, specialists and doctors so it doesn’t matter to her. I’m not saying us “poors” would deny a child healthcare, but the cost is more of an incentive to work as hard as possible to make as much progress as possible to hopefully require less specialist care in the future. That isn’t a thing for Acacia because she isn’t strapped for cash.

Most parents will research their child’s condition like mad to make sure they are asking questions and educating themselves because having time with a specialist is pricey so they want to make the most of the time they have with them. Acacia obviously listens to the doctors but at about 20% capacity. I genuinely don’t believe she is used to actually putting effort into a “problem” since she is so used to instant gratification of just throwing money at the problem and it going away. She isn’t used to doing months of research and educating herself because she has never done it previously.

She posted this at 1:30 in the afternoon yesterday. Such a hardworking #bossmom. Not like she couldn’t have found anything productive to do during “quite” time other than watch tv

This B reminds me of Asspyn ovard that got a dog just before she got pregnant and now thatbthe clone of her husband is like 6 months old she doesn’t know how to deal with the damn dog anymore

Oh wow, she's not even considering an NG feeding tube for Rosie because you know she thinks it won't look cute on Instagram. You would think she would at least try it if her doctor is suggesting it. Insane.

I don't think I've ever seen a 17 month old child who couldn't sit on their own yet unless it was a pretty severe disability. The level of neglect here is insane.

This makes me so sad for Rosie

[vmars87]

She hasn’t touched upon Rosie’s mental delays at all
Yes Rosie’s muscles need work and hopefully she will be able to sit on her own soon, perhaps by her second bday but at 17 months she should be talking. She still seems lost most of the time, her eyes not able to focus and still making infant cooing noises.
That worries me and it doesn’t seem to worry acacia.
Acacia doesn’t talk about her ACC which it seems to be affecting her more than originally thought.

[Maeve]

Is this person one of us? If not, someone should invite her here!!

Everybody says that Acacia is not trying hard enough, but I’m starting to believe that she actually is intellectually challenged and just can’t learn or process information as well as other people. She always sounds quite stupid to me, her vocabulary must have less than 1000 words.

Sorry for the double post.

Acacia even said in a previous video that she was hitting most of her psychological milestones, which is obviously not true. I feel so sorry for the little girl, she acts like a 6 month old baby. It worries me too.

[melindagomez]

It’s all about priorities and Acacia has not made Rosie a priority ever. They do the bare minimum for her and keep going against those bare minimum medical orders. Her daughter is extremely developmentally delayed which would seem to take up most parent’s full attention. She gets a puppy which for any responsible person is a lot of stress and work. (We know it won’t be for Acacia, it will be another neglected pet.) Her daughter is having surgery and she leaves her multiple to go get pastries and a nice dinner. She cannot spend one day to just care about her daughter.

This is kind of like a light version of that don’t f with cats doc. We are watching a child get abused in real time and there is nothing that can be done. Maybe medical authorities will intervene eventually but I think Rosie’s going to have to show up with some classic signs of abuse like bruises or bed sores down the line before they can get involved. She did say in her last video that their dietician was scared for Rosie because they switched her off what they were feeding her with MCT to whole milk because Rosie didn’t like it. I think if Rosie fusses even a little bit Acacia peaces out immediately because it’s work and not fun. If they do have to move on to the NG tube that will not go well also. The kids are always unkempt and dirty so I don’t see them maintaining the feeding tube in the way they will need to.

We’re getting close to the end of the thread!! Anyone have thread name suggestions?

I’ve wondered about Rosie supposedly hitting milestone as well.

Do they have a different chart for disabled children?

I think it’s a hard one because I’m assuming Rosie has been assessed and told she is hitting the milestones. If that’s the case I feel bad questioning a doctor but I do think they are wrong because Rosie really can’t even focus on anything, her eyes are constantly darting around. It seems by her age, “normal” kids should be quite a lot more alert and copying adults in what they are doing like sweeping floors and such. That’s under “cognitive” milestones but emotional is basically understanding emotion as of adults and comforting people who are upset and picking up on those cues. I don’t want to be like THE DOCTOR IS WRONG but she doesn’t seem to show any milestones for her age.

I don’t expect her to be able to talk for some time, she isn’t making much noise as it is and I’m assuming the missing part of the brain is a big factor for that.

For me personally, I don’t have any expectations for Rosie’s development. I can see it’s going to take a very long time for her to walk and possibly talk. I understand that’s part of her condition and since hers is even “rarer” the usual I’m not really shocked at this point. Yes, A can do PT with her to help movement but I don’t think you can really force a baby to talk, they sort of just do that in their own time. I don’t know if Acacia can really do anything to “make” her talk or teach her to talk. They talk to her lot but personally I don’t think she is anywhere close to talking and I don’t know if that can be sped up. I feel like babies learn from mimicking but she really isn’t even making any cooing noises at the moment so I think speech is a long way off

I don’t think it’s fair to say acacia is abusing Rosie. She is still seeing all her doctors and specialist and even having surgeries that she needs.

Is that enough, definitely not. I think she should be going over and above for Rosie and her health, but she is still getting what she needs. If Acacia refuses medical treatment such as feeding tubes and G tubes that Rosie needs to survive, obviously that’s a different story because she is purposely withholding necessary medical treatment.

I don’t think any of her current behaviour is abusive in any way? Does she come off distant and like she doesn’t care? Yes. Is she still taking Rosie to specialists and getting her necessary operations? Yes. I think acacia is lacking with healthcare but I don’t think it’s fair to say she is abusing her. Abusing her would be purposely withholding treatment to harm Rosie. Acacia isn’t like “let’s take her off this formula to make her suffer” she is just too dumb to consult with a doctor before making rash decisions. We aren’t watching a child being abused in real time. We are watching a uneducated mother making constantly stupid decisions because she thinks she knows best. Abuse is purposely causing harm/injury to someone. I don’t think she is purposely doing this to Rosie to make her suffer more, she is doing this because she is too lazy to research so she doesn’t know what she is doing.

^ no, child abuse isn't just about violence. Neglect is also classified as child abuse!

I wanna say I either her diagnosis video or one year update Acacia claimed she CAN talk and she say Dada & baba or something. There was actually even a video from her IG stories of Rosie babbling dada.

I don’t want to be cynical but I don’t really consider that talking, more babbling. I consider speech as when you say something to a baby and they are able to repeat it. Maybe that’s what Rosie does, but I haven’t seen it personally that she is mimicking A/J/Brin. It just seems like she is making those noises that sound like dada but I guess it’s more if she is actually intending to say dada because it’s a learnt word or if she is just making noises that sound like that.

I would definitely like to see a video to be proven wrong, I have been out of loop lately with her insta stories. Rosie and I actually had surgery the same day (mine was only very minor) but took some rest days offline to recover so I did miss a bit.

I just saw this comment on her video about Rosie. She said, "Did I say we weren't?" to someone saying an NG tube should be seriously considered...I can feel the yellow heart in her tone even tho she didn't add it this time. lol

Long time lurker, finally posting on here. This was me that made this comment about considering an NG tube. Acacia really has taken it too far this time, seeing her make rosie try to sit up and have her almost fall over and cry pushed me over the edge. She's an awful parent to Rosie.
