Medusa, your blog still scares me with possibilities, but I'm very relieved to report that my granddaughter is eating enough that her feeding tube is coming out this week - at long last! She is at 100 lbs., and seems to have turned the corner. But she is still fragile, and her hold on normality tenuous. Will she ever be normal? I don't know. The best we can hope for is not relapsing.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am to hear of your granddaughter's progress.
It's been a long road for you all, and I'm sure with all the support she's receiving, she is well on her way to recovery.
I often think of you and your granddaughter and thank you so much for the update.
Hugs to you, your granddaughter, and your family...
I have been this way(anorexia/bulimia)for 25 years. I had been given a book, The Secret Language of Eating Disorders, by Peggy Claude-Pierre, I thought wow this woman really knows what i am going through. I read the book many times. Then I have read that the clinic that she had run is closed, because of some sort of legal problems. This has made things really hard to think about. I really don't know what will happen to me.

I'm so sorry to hear of your long struggle with anorexia and bulimia. My heart goes out to you.
Yes, Peggy Claude-Pierre's Montreux clinic in Victoria, British Columbia, was closed down. A lot of controvery surrounded her methods of treatment of patients and the qualifications (or lack thereof) of staff at her clinic. Still, Peggy did have successes.
There is an interesting account of Peggy and the Montreux Clinic here:
