I'll update first, then respond to the individuals...
My D has been calling me quite a bit while she's in Indiana. I left my phone in the car for about an hour or so and she called me 4 times in that span. I did call her back and she was a bit upset about why I hadn't answered my phone. It was cute.
Yesterday she called me around noon and we talked about her day at the Children's Museum in Indianapolis. She then called last night after I had left a message for her, but she wasn't too talkative (I'll give more on that in a bit). Then she called this morning as I was on my way to work just to chat. I guess this should be ample evidence that I have an excellent relationship w/ my D and she wants to be w/ me far more than my W is allowing.
As for W, I did talk w/ her last night and all the happy thoughts were gone. D gave her the phone and W said "Did you need to talk to me?" and I answered "Grace wanted me to talk to you. This is her decision." I then asked how she was doing and about her hair. W was very curt and I basically ended the conversation by telling her to have a good night.
Later last night, around 8:30 I get a text from W about her mom working on her hair for 3 hours and if it didn't she'd have to cut her hair. I affirmed her in my reply saying "I know how upsetting that would be for you."
W replied w/ "Do you? Do you really know? Tell me why it would be so upsetting to me?" My response was again affirming as I said "I just know how happy you are w/ your hair and how you worked so hard to get it the way it is now."
W's repied and said I was right as to why she'd be upset, then she threw out this: "Why was it so hard for you to be nice to me?" followed by "Do you know?" Needless to say, I didn't reply to either of these. Really, what possible answer could I give to her? There is nothing I can say that will satisfy her in any way, so there isn't any point.
Today, I sent her an e-mail response telling her I'd be willing and able to apply the treatment to D's hair while we were in Tahoe as well as mentioned that I'm glad she'll be going to D's doctor's appointment on Tuesday. She didn't respond via e-mail, but did send this text just a few minutes ago:

"We are treating her for the 3rd time as she has more live bugs on her head. This is an f@#$ing nightmare. We might cut her hair."
My reply asked her if she wanted me to call our doctor and her pediatrician about this. She sent an e-mail saying new nits hatched on D's head this morning, that they have spoken w/ two specialists who are confused by how aggressive her case is and I will have to treat her in Tahoe. W then sent a text saying: "I am frustrated and overwhelmed. D is freaked. It is gross."
I'll be doing some checking on my own and getting back to W later today. I'm not sure what to do for her, but I'll most likely call our doctors here anyway to hear what they have to say. W did say she wants to talk w/ me "in person" so we can come up w/ a plan for treating D.
