          Poor kid! Oh my god! I hope the doctor gives her the okay to eat soon. It broke my heart when she said "I'm really hungry."

                My thoughts go out to her and her family. What an ordeal to go through!! It will take some time and practice but it will be worth it to eat again. That first bite will be the best tasting food ever!!

                      so who's going to call "******"????

                      it's not physiollogically possible to go without feeding and hydrating the human body.

                      a peron doing such will surely die.. a no brainer.
