Well. That's a thing. That is happening. To her child.
She does not call the hospital. They would - she has visions of them taking Astrid away to be tested upon in a lab somewhere, treated like a test subject rather than a child. The thought makes her feel so sick that she wants to throw up. She refrains. Lynn hopes that nothing bad ever happens to Astrid, that she stays safe and healthy and never needs to go to the hospital, because she thinks she would rather die than send her child (because she considers Astrid to be her child, now) to that fate.
"Okay," she informs Astrid, "I think I will let you be in charge of your diet from now on, just tell me what you'd like and I'll get it for you."
