Hospital
12/4/06..Alayr was diagnosed with Anorexia 3 months ago. 3 weeks ago (20 March ), she was admitted into hospital as she wasn't making any progress gaining weight on her own. Thankfully she is such a positive girl who with each little hump seems to be able to make the most of her situation. Just over a week ago she was fitted with a feeding tube. This is inserted down the nose (left nostril) into the stomach. It feeds her a high protein enriched drink called Ensure. She has this at night & during the day she is encouraged to eat 3 main meals & snack as much as she wants. I tell she wants this thing out!
25/4/06 ... Well, her eating regime has really paid off! She had the tube removed a few days ago & even though I haven't seen her since then she sounds quite chirpy over the phone. I'm hoping I can bring her home on Thursday after band practise as we're heading up North to the Winter Moon the next day.

This is her wall that she looks at while in bed that's covered with her friends encouraging thoughts & images.

I've found trying to understand the html linking code to be a bit difficult so I'm just going to put them on the page!!!
