Should I continue emailing my teacher?

-I became very close to this male teacher, because I was going through a lot in my 8th grade year and I looked to him as a father figure.



After school ended last month, he told me to please keep in touch via email and come back to visit often.



I sent him an email because I had somewhat of a medical issue and he responded a few days later saying to please let him know how it went at the hospital I was at. He also said he didn't have access to a computer all the time yet (he took an out of state summer job as a producer for a news broadcasting station in atlanta) but wanted to hear from me.



After I went to the hospital, I emailed him again, and said how it went, and I went more in depth of what the hospital suspects that I have, and also an update on how my appointments went with my therapist and nutritionist, vaguely. I confided in him about my eating disorder, and he always asked about my appointments when I was in school. During this email I also told him I was doing very well with my self image, saying I felt a 7 out of 10, when it used to be 1 out of 10.



Then he emailed me back days later saying he was relieved/concerned, that I may know what's causing my medical issues. He said to email him back when I got results.



Two days ago I emailed him results, but also said I was struggling slightly more with eating, because I've had a lack of appetite, and I've just been not as happy as before. I mentioned that I would be better, and I had a lot of fun for a few days, to not let the whole email be a downer.



During each email, I ask him about how he's doing, and if he still likes being in Atlanta, as he lived there before moving to Phoenix. I don't just email him to talk about myself, I also sent a link to avideo he would enjoy (ie someone singing Lady Gaga, who we both like, on America's Got Talent), and I also mentioned that it must be so cool to write news stories like he does, since I want to be ajournalist.





Do you think he's only sending back emails late because he doesn't have access to a computer all the time? Or do you think he's possibly just not really caring that much about my emails? After he responds to this one should I just stop emailing him if I'm bothering him?
