Bone Density Scan
We had a bone density scan today. And in less than 3 hours I had an email from her doctor with results. So, you can imagine they were the best results. All of her results had worsened in the past year, most notably her spine. Which is where her doctor said you see the most…

Finding a New Therapist
Finding a new therapist is hard. Especially for my daughter. First you have to find someone that is willing to take her on. You have to find someone that is willing to work with her and not decide her eating disorder/OCD is too severe and she needs a higher level of care. You need someone…

Sometimes I Spiral Out of Control
As the years have passed, I’ve matured a lot and I think I’ve done a pretty good job of keeping my emotions in check the last couple of years even. Side note, did you know it’s a good thing to acknowledge things you’ve done well and to be proud of yourself. Anyway, of course I…

Vacation Number…I’m Not Sure
So I’m currently on vacation 5ish probably w/out my entire family. Actually, probably more than 5, but we’re going to go with 5 anyway because it’s a nice round estimate number. But I’m on vacation. With my other two girls, a friend and my mom. We’re in Oregon and Washington having an amazing time exploring…
