[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I came back to post that the comment by the parent who pointed out that an undernourished brain does not think rationally has really resonated with me.

I don't think your dd can start to heal from the anxiety and the disordered eating until her brain is running on all of its cylinders again. [/quote]

^^^I should have said, I am concerned that your dd brain can't start to heal from the anxiety and the disordered eating until she is not undernourished. [/quote]

I hear you. I am actually encouraged on that front. We’ve noticed a lot of progress with the anxiety both at home and at school that corresponded with our relaxing the pressure on her eating. Her sleep improved. Her grades improved (she’s getting straight As now). Her dance performance improved - she is focused and quick to learn combinations. In fact her school has proposed to modify her 504 because she is not using the accommodations. I am fighting that as we head into increased intervention, whatever that means. So I am worried about undoing the progress she’s made by stepping up the pressure again. But more clearly needs to be done for her nutrition.
