Nourishing My Son: September 2013
http://nourishingmyson.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
My thoughts as our family battles anorexia with our 11-year old son. Wednesday, September 11, 2013. N just began his senior year! I can't believe it. It was a rough semester when he switched friends. He spent a lot of lunches eating by himself. Now, though, a new group of really good kids have pulled him in. He talks about how much better he likes being with this new group. N is such a good kid and I can tell that these kids really like him, too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Our 11-year old son dropped 20...

Nourishing My Son: August 2014
http://nourishingmyson.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
My thoughts as our family battles anorexia with our 11-year old son. Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Well, he's off. I've worried for a long time (see many previous posts) about how N would do with the stress of a mission. The doctors all cleared him for service. They all served missions, themselves, so they know what is involved. We've prepped him for every possible trigger that I could imagine. We've reviewed and discussed the importance of eating well over and over and over. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Nourishing My Son: November 2012 Update
http://nourishingmyson.blogspot.com/2012/11/november-2012-update.html
My thoughts as our family battles anorexia with our 11-year old son. Sunday, November 4, 2012. After he ate, we talked about the danger of what just happened. I always say that he can't EVER skip a meal, which he insists that he understands. However, in that moment, he was able to see the realities of where he was headed. To stop it, he had to eat. He has to remember that for his whole life! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Current Height and Weight. Weight prior to anorexia: 104 pounds.

Nourishing My Son: Biking and Cross Fit and Basketball?
http://nourishingmyson.blogspot.com/2015/02/biking-and-cross-fit-and-basketball.html
My thoughts as our family battles anorexia with our 11-year old son. Wednesday, February 11, 2015. Biking and Cross Fit and Basketball? Hopefully there won't be too much damage done by the end of this month. I know there is a fine line where symptoms might start to ramp up and it becomes much more difficult for N to manage living independently. Traditionally missionaries gain weight in this area. So hopefully some weight recovery is in store. Until then, I might be worrying a bit. Low Weight: 76.5 lbs.

Nourishing My Son: January 2015
http://nourishingmyson.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
My thoughts as our family battles anorexia with our 11-year old son. Wednesday, January 14, 2015. On the Border of Texas. He speaks Spanish fluently now. I can't believe it! He took three years of German in high school and didn't know any Spanish when he left. When he skyped at Christmas, N and his dad spent the first 10 minutes or so speaking only in Spanish. He is teaching a lot of people. He is serving the communities there in Texas and making a difference. What an amazing experience!

Nourishing My Son: Mystery Illness Baffles Doctors
http://nourishingmyson.blogspot.com/2012/01/mystery-illness-baffles-doctors.html
My thoughts as our family battles anorexia with our 11-year old son. Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Mystery Illness Baffles Doctors. I am flabbergasted about how the doctors have just brushed these girls away and called their reactions, "stress." Sounds like similar things we've all experienced with doctor's flawed reactions about and the subsequent flawed treatment of anorexia.

http://nourishingmyson.blogspot.com/2009/02/nourishing-my-son.html
My thoughts as our family battles anorexia with our 11-year old son. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Just four months after my son’s 11th birthday, he was diagnosed with anorexia. You might be surprised that my son has anorexia, both because he is a boy and because he was so young. In reality, 1 in 10 anorexia sufferers are boys and it isn’t uncommon for kids to be diagnosed as young as 9 years old. May 13, 2009 at 5:28 PM.

Nourishing My Son: July 2012 Update
http://nourishingmyson.blogspot.com/2012/07/july-2012-update.html
My thoughts as our family battles anorexia with our 11-year old son. Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Is it possible for N to continue to improve? I continue to see his anxiety and depression reduce. He still has hiccups, but they come less and less frequently. He got his driver's license last month. His first trip in the car afterwards was to visit a cute girl (so brave of him! And last night there were two cute girls sitting on our porch with him. Even N's younger, 14 year-old brother said, "I'm so proud!
