Sad but Poignant Article about One Girl's Struggle with EE

The Kansas City Star recently did an article about a young girl that committed suicide last year who had been suffering with EE.  I think about this young girl frequently because I see the torture in my own son with wanting to eat but not being able to do so.  I also know the pain that he has to endure as a result of it all.  Although my son it still quite young, I know that he will have to endure a certain amount of social isolation as well as a result of not being able to eat food.  I wonder how his peer will treat him.  I hope you get a chance to read the article.
