I just got home

From the hospital. They found a facility for Melissa, it's in Pennsylvania, about 30 minutes away but they couldn't take her until she was 14 so they did the transfer at midnight just as she turned 14. It took them several hours to process her though because they had quite a few emergencies.

I'm so tired and I haven't really cried yet because I still have to be strong for Ellie and James. Trenna went with me so I wasn't alone when I had to walk onto the elevator and say goodbye to my baby. As I sit here the tears are starting to come as I realize just once again how proud I am of her and that she's willing to get the help she needs and she signed herself in. You can do that in PA once you turn 14, you have the power to sign yourself in and ask for the help. She did so willingly and with a bit of hope though she was really down about this all happening on her birthday. But I have a BIG favor to ask you, my friends and family. If you could contact me via Email I would so appreciate it if you could find it in your heart to send a card along to Melissa. I can send you the address. She will be there at least 5 days so plenty of time to get it to her. Or send it to me and I'll take them to her. It would mean so much to her if she could get a TON of cards for her birthday and such. Just click on my profile and zip me an email and I'll send you the address.

Thank you all so much for your support during this difficult time.

Love to all.
