My son has had problems with stomach pain all his life. We found that if he sucked on a di-gel or rolaid, the pain went away. That was my brother, the gastroenterologist's idea. He said rather traumatize the child diagnosing the problem, just treat it with an over the counter medication. If it worked, great. If not, we could always do the scoping. He didn't get scoped til this year at 24.
Glad you had a good time. There are so many reasons your D could be having tummy aches - you need to put your mind at rest. One of my D's started getting them once she started school. When she was checked out they told me they thought she was having migraines, (in her tummy - yep!!!). I was a bit sceptical, but sure enough, as she has gotten older, (just turned 15),she has started getting proper migraines like me - poor girl. She didn't need scoping, they were able to tell by what she told them what was happening.
Like Sara did with her son, we treated it with over the counter medications, once we knew it was nothing too serious - painful but not life threatening by any means.

Well, the doctor thinks D6 has reflux. She had it as a baby (oh it was bad!) and apparently it can resurface during childhood. She'll be on a med for 2 weeks, and if she is no better, we'll go forward with more tests.
H is very tired today (worked at 3am), and I am feeling a teeny tiny cold draft coming from his direction. So after the doctor's, I went and ran errands, gave him time with the girls.
Its hard to keep up a positive attitude (w/myself, I am outwardly positive) knowing that H is preparing to leave, the kids are going to be shaken up, and the whole world will know we are separated. Its a lot to take, and a lot to 'dread'. I just don't know how to put a handle on all of those feelings.
be H's cold draft is because he had a good time too with you and is now confused or unsure again. That's a thought.
I think this happens alot with them...
Have a good night lwb and hope your D's feeling well again soon!!

Im sorry for your little one. I hope she gets better soon!!! I hate it when they aren't feeling well, you feel so hopeless.
mark is right though.. he's been here this whole time.. and he would have left if he really wanted to.
Hang in there.. the waiting is the worst part and the pressure of you worrying about your kids is a killer. Try and concentrate on the holidays with them and not your H... although easier said than done.

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
