Things are rough. Normally, I wouldnapos;t divulge such information as Iapos;m about to over the internet, but seeing as only�five of my closest friends read this anyway, I think itapos;s safe. My 13yr old sister was hospitalized Friday afternoon with Anorexia. I tried to see her Saturday evening, but she wasnapos;t allowed visitors because she hadnapos;t finished her dinner. Since sheapos;s a minor and yesterday was her third day there, she was allowed thirty minutes of visitation despite the fact that she was on weight restrictions for the day. The entire family went up to see her and I think sheapos;s doing well. According to my mom, she seemed like she was handling being there much better than sheapos;d been. My parents had been allowed to see her twice before yesterdayapos;s visitation: Friday, for about fifteen minutes, to drop her clothing and other belongings off and then again�for about fifteen minutes on Saturday when she needed to have blood drawn. Friday and Saturday, she apparently cried and begged my mom to take her home with her when she left. Yesterday, she only started to cry, but had calmed down before we were even out of the door.

She says her roommate is "hilarious" and theyapos;re only a year apart, which is good for her; If she were surrounded by 40 yr olds, it would be even more lonely and uncomfortable. She hasnapos;t been finishing any of her meals, but she is trying. When she doesnapos;t eat 100 of her meals, she has to drink supplement drinks, and she has been finishing them even though she hates them. Her pediatrician had been advising her to drink three of them a day even before she was hospitalized on Friday, and my mom said she often refused or didnapos;t finish them. Iapos;m very proud of her. I know it must be scary and sheapos;s so incredibly young to be dealing with all of this. Her 14th birthday is Thursday, which she wonapos;t be out in time for. She has to spend at least two weeks as an inpatient there before they can decided whether or not to make her an outpatient. But her nurse says he thinks sheapos;ll progress well and she shouldnapos;t have to spend any more than two weeks as an inpatient.

The blood work they did showed that she hasnapos;t done any irreversible damage to her body. Her hormones are low, but itapos;s nothing serious. However, theyapos;ve also told my mother that her heart is so weak that she could have a major heart attack if she puts too much strain on herself. At thirteen. I knew she had lost too much weight recently, but I grew up having another underweight sister who never had any health problems, so she didnapos;t look too unhealthy to me. I saw her eat fries, and cookies, and cupcakes. I figured sheapos;d just lost "baby weight" and I attributed some of it to the fact that she had shot up in height. But when I saw her yesterday, I realized just how small she is getting. There is absolutely nothing to her. Her size 0 jeans are too big for her.

My dad called a little while ago and said she gained 1.5 lbs since yesterday. They want her to gain .5lbs a day, so this is very good news. They were supposed to do bone density screenings today. I havenapos;t heard how that went. They were also supposed to talk about her goal weight and I havenapos;t heard about that yet either. Right now, sheapos;s approx. 80 pounds. Most of that is height.

Itapos;s very scary. Iapos;ve seen my dad cry for probably the 10th time in the 15 years Iapos;ve known him. My mom has been crying pretty much nonstop. My entire family is on the verge of tears all day long. In the same regard, Iapos;m proud of them for how strong theyapos;ve been for her. Iapos;ve done my fair share of crying as well, but when we talk to her on the phone, or visit with her, I definitely think we need to be upbeat. If we all look miserable and worried, it will only make it harder for her. There were a few tears at yesterdayapos;s visit, but there were more smiles and laughs and I believe that is how it should be. She needs to know that we believe she is going to get better and that being there is good for her. Which I believe 100.

Today is my brother Jaimieapos;s 11th birthday and weapos;re having cake at my momapos;s at 7:30. Meghan is on restrictions yet again for not finishing her breakfast or lunch, so we wonapos;t be able to see her. But birthdays are especially important to youngsters, so Iapos;m glad that weapos;re celebrating Jaiapos;s in spite of what is going on. My dad bought him Rock Band WICKED I gave him money and he has already spent it on two video games lol.

All right, Iapos;m just rambling now.
