fire68's blog post - My Day.....

Today my wife and I (alias) took our oldest daughter to U of I hospital to be checked in for an eating disorder,we have known there was a problem for some time but being a stubborn blockhead i thought we could take care of it on our own. Well we were unsucessful and now my daughter ( I am not gonna give you stats ) is very underweight and needs pro help. so this morning we drove 4plus hours to UofI and admitted her to a program they have for this. needless to say there were lots of tears and a few now as i type, but I know now she is going to get the help she needs and we can put this in our past. estimates put her at around 6-8 weeks of therapy. Hardest thing I have truly ever done was walked away from her there alone in a big hospital. In the end though I would rather make a thousand trips to hospital than just one to the cemetary. thats all I have now will try to keep updated so if I seem short at times or distracted or even gone all together bear with me.

You did the right thing! It may be hard and it's going to be, but it will get better as she heals and becomes better. One day she will thank you, for saving her life. Remember that you did this because you love her and remind of this each and every time you see or speak to her. She'll know and see. *hugs and prayers*
