Yesterday was a very trying day for my little girl...
I took her to the doctor's office so that I can finally air out my concerns about her eating. And thank goodness her regular doctor has taken me serious and has ordered a series of tests for her. They took two vials of blood from her, which she sit there like a champ when they took her blood, and they have some of her urine.
When we finally got to the car, after being at the doctor's office for close to 3 hours, she knocked out. My poor little girl... she was so tired of being checked out and tired of crying. She held onto me so tightly every time anyone came into the room to examine her. It was so bad for her that she kept crying out that she was "better" whenever someone came close to her.
I got home and tried to get her to eat something... and she did, a couple pieces of French bread. I was hoping that she would eat more especially since she hadn't had anything at all all morning and it was already after 5pm, so I cooked her one of her favorites, spaghetti, and she didn't even want to open her mouth to try it.
I tried to give her so many things to try to eat last night... but she wasn't having any of it. Before putting her to bed, I gave her a bowl of strawberries and I am happy to report that she did eat that.
My poor little girl... I surely hope that they can tell me what is wrong with her. I am sure that it has nothing to do with "growing pangs" that everyone is telling me. How can a little girl go all day without eating?! I understand the whole thing about eating less, but this is more than eating less. This is not eating at all if it was up to her.
She's even lost some weight... and is not going to continue losing if it's up to me.
On another note... my appointment to the fertility doctor is next Wednesday. I am honestly say that I am a little more relaxed this time around, compared to the very first time that I went in.
I am praying for the best this time around when we go in... and hoping that we can get pregnant soon.
And on a very positive note, after being on Weight Watchers for 8 weeks (longer this time around), I have lost a total of 10.6 pounds!! I am so happy!! I will be at my 5% goal soon enough! And I thank Weight Watchers each and every day for giving me the tools to get to my goals... and of course the support of my family during this wonderful transformation into the new me!
I just received a call from the doctor himself and he said that my princesses' white cell blood count was very high... indicating that she is battling some type of infection but the doctor says that he doesn't want to prescribe anything without knowing what it is that she is fighting.
So we will be heading to the doctor's office in Lincolnwood so that they can draw some more blood this evening.
MY POOR BABY!!! I just want her to get better!
And I am VERY hopeful that the doctor will get to the bottom of this and we will have an answer to what is going on with my little monkey.
And this is the way that I will continue to think for my little girl... I continue to pray for strength to get through this with her and be her rock to lean on during this difficult time right now. I know that she will get through this...
My little girl is a tough and strong cookie... nothing is going to knock her down!
