She lives alone and takes care of herself-she wouldnt have it any other way. She takes everything through a peg tube-nothing orally. She lost 35 pounds but has leveled out since she got the eating under control. She sleeps alot but because of her treatment. After hearing this information her answer to me was that she was super sad! that about sums up the feeling of our entire family.
