A tough weekend

It's been almost a week since Emily was admitted to the Belmont Center. Ned took Sarah and Jack to visit Friday night, and Colleen took Matthew to visit on Saturday. (And she has had a few surprise visitors during the week as well!)

Emily is still getting three meals and three snacks per day, and during the week she is participating in individual and group sessions designed to help her cope with the anxiety that surrounds eating. Unfortunately, there is not much to do over the weekend, and Emily misses her home and her friends terribly.

This is an especially difficult time for Em... She has made progress with her eating, and wants to try at home again on her own, but her treatment team is not recommending that she leave yet. Please pray for Emily's strength to persevere with the program... Thanks!
