My husband talked to Zach's grandmother, our pastor's wife, and Zach has gotten so weak that he has to use one hand to make his leg move in order to walk. I know that there's a place a person can get to in losing weight where you don't lose fat but muscle. I think that's Zach's problem. He's in the hospital and his mother is staying in the Ronald McDonald house. Please continue to pray for Zach and his family.

Diana, at least he is getting treatment now. That's better than before at least. I'm so sorry that this has turned into such a scary situation for him and his family. I will continue to keep them in my prayers.

Yesterday Zach had a good day and even asked for some chicken to eat so he and his family went out and ate but today has been really rough. He had a tooth break and he's really upset and things aren't going well and he's crying alot. Please continue to pray for them. His parents are just at their wits end.

Oh my, he's just so fragile. I want to reach out and hold him and tell him it will be okay.

I'm sending prayers,

Judy

I got another prayer chain call today on Zach. He's been put back in the hospital (he was in another place near the hospital for counseling) and might be facing surgery. I don't know what the surgery is for and I haven't heard anything more. I'm sure that his parents are extremely upset over everything that's happening. Please continue your prayers for this situation.

I guess that the surgery was for a severe infection, but he still has the eating problem. I'll know more tomorrow when I talk to Zach's grandma.

Zach had a lump on his hip that was filled with infection. That's why he was having trouble walking. The doctors went in and scraped out the infection. It had spread up his side and down his leg. The family is hoping that he'll get out of the hospital today but they were worried that they may have to scrape out the infection again. He'll have to return to the eating disorder place when he gets out.

Zach is such a sweet and well behaved child. I really hate to see him go through all of this. His little brother is in town to stay with his grandparents for a while. It has been so hard on everyone.

We got a call this afternoon on Zach and I guess that he's having a really bad day today. His Grandmother was the one who called and she was having a hard time getting the message out. The whole family is really upset. What do you do with a 12 year old boy who won't eat and cries and cries?

Dear Diana,

How heartbreaking. He's hospitalized and I would hope he's on medication for depression, and seeing a therapist.

I had my cousin's stepdaughter stay over here last night. She was hospitalized for anorexia at 16 - she weighed 69 pounds! She's fine now - it's like a miracle. She 's 20 now, but had been okay for a few years.

I feel so bad for Zach and his family. He's so depressed. Prayers are going out for him.

Judy
