My daughter was born premature at 28 weeks--with everything she went through she too was terrified of going to a dr.'s office. I tried everything from telling her we'd go get a special treat after the appt. to going to the bookstore beforehand and picking out a book to read while we were there...anything to try and get through an appt without tears. I did find the one thing that helped a little bit was my neighbor had a little girl that was a year older and the girls loved playing together every chance they got. Her mom suggested next time they go with us. I called and asked them for her next appt if it would be alright that they came along. They said it was fine. Like you, sitting in the waiting room Ash was fine, call her back and the tears start, doesn't help when there's a waiting room full of people staring at you like you're some evil mom. Having Lindsey and her mom go with us that day--they had Lindsey get on the scales first to weigh in and Dr. McDaniel would look in Lindsey's ears first and so on trying to show Ash that it was okay that some not all dr.'s visits will hurt. While the visit wasn't completely tear free it was definitely better than other visits. We did that quite some time. <br /><br />I remember the days of trying to "bulk" Ash up also for the weigh in. LOL Everything I heard was she's not eating enough, gotta get more calories in her, for me while I was literally obsessed with getting what I could in to her each day--those were the worst days and its like she knew it and would barely eat. Its so hard you want to do what's best for them but at the same time the stress can be so overwhelming. Even now I do still worry some--but as moms we always will. She will be 15 next month and is a freshman this year--I'm beginning to think she's always going to be a "string bean". lol<br /><br />I do hope her dentist appt goes well next week.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785065265630104303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952491439420549812.post-68774895595640601502010-09-02T21:53:47.818-05:002010-09-02T21:53:47.818-05:00I think her own happiness is the most important. ...I think her own happiness is the most important. It would be pretty boring if we were all the same! So glad she loved pre-school! Good luck with the dentist:)Veronica Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147304571591704665noreply@blogger.com
