As some of you know from my previous threads that DD1 has an eating disorder. She is grossly underweight and now weighs only 46kg. At 175 cm tall she looks so frail.
We went to see the specialist today and DD1 saw her by herself for over an hour. When I was called in, it was to be told that DD1 has agreed to go to hospital tomorrow so that she can be looked after and fed. We are talking about a 5-6 week stay here. Inside I'm but on the outside I have to show my normal self. I'm very proud that she has made the decision to start to fix herself and I will tell her that but I'm also scared that she won't follow through and will leave treatment before it is finished. I'm also a bit scared about what they may find when they run the tests that they have to. They are going to check her heart and bone density, her brain and chemical balance and her hormonal levels. After suffering with the disorder for over 7 years she is bound to have some problems but I hope they are not to bad.
Oh hun that is the best news, her accepting help is the start of her journey to help herself, she would not have got there without the love and support of all of you.
Ive not seen your other thread, but that is so fantastic that she's made such a decision to get help. I can only imagine how proud of her you must be for making that decision

That is great that she has made the decision to do this, she is lucky to have you standing beside her.
I really hope it is a start of a new life for her.
Thank you so much everyone. DD1 is a bit scared but is still following through on the hospital stay. We haven't heard from the dr yet but I'm sure we will. DD1 has gone to her place to get her pillows and blankets so she feels more comfortable and then will be coming back here to pack a bag. I'm feeling a tad anxious this morning my self. I so want her to get better but am struggling with the fact that I can't help her any more and it is now up to her and the dr. I'm still glad though that she is finally getting some help
I would imagine she's very scared. What a huge decision she's made! You should be very proud, as I'm sure you are I can understand how you'd be feeling a little bit helpless though. She's always going to be your baby and you want to fix things for her
DD1 is off to hospital
