What to do what to do....

Where do I start with what is going on with Rowan?

First the good news - she went to the dentist this week. We went to a different place than the first time, this time we went to a what I would hope a real pediatric dentist office would look like - it had games and a bright kids decor and they were very friendly and soothing. Rowan was excited about going, sat in the little kid sized chair and was all happy about being there, until they tilted the chair back without warning her...big mistake...we ended up sitting with her on my lap facing me and leaning her back into the lap of the hygenist but she was pretty good about that and let them clean and fluoride her teeth and then she let the dentist look at her teeth the same way. No cavities and nothing we can do about the crossbite until her adult teeth come in and depending how that happens we may be looking at orthodontics...great. On a very cute side of this story - she was so excited about getting her own dental floss she wanted to call Nana and tell her - Nana had to call her back last night but Rowan told her all about it and then in a VERY cute moment she says "Can I talk to my cousin Abby?" and actually told Abby on the phone all about going to the dentist and about the leprechaun that got loose in her classroom at school - it was so sweet watching her talk to her cousin and she was so happy she got to do it!

Now the not so good news - she is still having stomach problems to the point where she is now throwing up occasionally and still has diarrhea. Parker is better and back to his usual self - Rowan still is not. We went to the doctor yesterday and had her checked out. She seems hydrated and her skin tone was good but she has lost almost 2lbs since we were there less than a month ago with strep throat. She has missed so much school in the past week and a half that I am now afraid that this is becoming more mental than physical because she wants to stay home with me or Parker or Pop Pop instead of going to school. We left "samples" with the doctor and took some more in last night and are awaiting results to see if there is something very serious or just a plain old nasty stomach bug that won't let her go. I just talked to the doctor and we probably will not get any results until Monday..*sighs*.
