She began treatment for anorexia nervosa at Einstein's Belmont Center for Comprehensive Treatment in Philadelphia, PA. Emily entered the program willingly, saying that she wants to beat this eating disorder, and she wants lots of help to do it!
I talked with Emily before she went in about all of her family and friends who love and care about her... It's been very difficult for Emily to talk about her struggle over the past six months, so we agreed that I would start this blog to keep you all informed of her progress on her journey.
I will try to post updates every few days, including stories, comments, and any information that may help us all become more educated about this mysterious and scary disease. I will also pass on to Emily all the comments and well-wishes that you may want to add.
If you would like to write directly to Emily, I am sure she would love to receive your cards or letters at:
Belmont Center for Comprehensive Treatment4200 Monument AvenueFloor 2-EastPhiladelphia, PA 19131Attention: Emily S.
And if you believe in the power of prayer as we do, please add Emily to your prayers tonight!

ReplyDeleteHello, Emily and family.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting updates. It is very difficult for us to be so far away... wondering how things are and feeling a bit helpless.
Yes, we are praying! We think of you constantly, and we are optimistic that you all will beat this thing. What a strong family you are, and prayer is a powerful thing! LOTS of love and prayers are sent your way...
Love, Aunt KT
