Megan is away for at least a few days

Hey everyone, this is Megan's cousin Gabrielle. Recently, Megan collapsed from going back on her starvation diet. She began to restrict and over exercise even more severely a few days ago and fainted today. She went to the hospital to get blood work done and her weight has dropped enough for cause for alarm. She is going to enter an outpatient program at Walden Behavioral Unit for Eating Disorders, and if her physical condition doesn't improve, she will be admitted to a residential program at Klarman. I don't know if this is a place for me to get personal, but she isn't doing too good. She looks so pretty in the pictures she posted here, but right now her eyes are hollow and gaunt and so is the rest of her. I'm really frightened for her. She doesn't want to talk to anybody but you guys, but she's bed ridden so she doesn't have access to a computer. Today she had one of her so called "binges", which consisted of five little vanilla cookies, a bowl of honey nut cheerios, some fruits and veggies, and some gummy candies. That's all she's had all day and she's curled up in a ball in bed so upset over it!!!! She should be out of the hospital soon though, and she'll be able to post a journal entry then. She wanted me to tell you guys she loves you and is sorry she can't comment on your journals. Thanks so much for everything you've done for her.
 
Sincerely,
Gabrielle

Please tell her I am thinking of her. Please keep us updated on how shes doing and where she is so I can send her mail. Thanks sweetie. All my best.

I\'m so sorry to hear that you\'re in so much physical and emotional pain, but please, please know that I love you so much and someday we\'ll meet and hang out and giggle and laugh together. You are such a beautiful person, and I am so thankful to have met you.
Take care of yourself, darling, and take advantage of the hospital staff and doctors. They are there to help you and get you well.
