:cry: I am on vacation visiting my daughter and 3 year old granddaughter. I arrived yesterday and have been doing really well exercising, eating under my calories, drinking water and logging everything in MFP. However, we had to take my granddaughter (who has Sickle Cell Anemia) to the emergency room at the children's hospital earlier this afternoon and she was just admitted due to an infection.

My first impulse is to eat - for comfort, as a distraction, out of worry, boredom from sitting in a hospital room, you name it. On the children's wing there is nothing but snacks, all kinds of snacks. So, I need prayer first of all so that my granddaughter will get well and the infection won't get in her blood as that is really dangerous for her. Second, I need prayer so that I won't run to food in this crisis (or any crisis) and undo all the good I've done.

I just came back to the hotel to get some items and I'm headed right to the hospital. Thank you to all who keep us in prayer! I truly appreciate it!

    Prayers for you and your granddaughter!

    Hospital cafeterias usually have healthy food. Ask a nurse if there is a healthy snack in sight, maybe some fruit.

    I'm not religious, but I hope your granddaughter has a quick recovery and gets all the care she needs!

    Be strong. Not just for her but for you too. Just do your best and give her all the love you can :smile: Don't beat yourself up if you screw up at a time like this with your eating. Just hop back on your plan as soon as you can.

    Prayers for your family! I would check out the cafeteria at the hospital. They usually have yogurt, fruits, granola bars, salads, etc. Grab a book or a magazine to distract you from eating. Good luck!
