[blparent] getting better

[Veronica Smith]

I took Gab to the Dr yesterday and she sat down with Gab and explained how
the heart works, how the stomach works and how the lungs work.  She assured
Gab that she was very healthy and the pain in her chest was not her heart.
Dr Jody was more concerned that Gab has worried herself into a troublesome
tummy.  Gab has worried herself into thinking the pain was a heart attack,
thus terrified to sleep, thus more pain.  A vicious cycle.  Well, now the Dr
advised us to give Gab a Tylenol pm in the evening to get her to sleep at
least 10 hours a night.  Imparative for a healthy and happy child and
Prylosac to coat the tummy to relax those muscles.  Last night she finally
circumed to the Tylenol and passed out.  She was much happier today.  I
think the treatment will work.  She also joined the grief group at school.
One day at a time.  Thanks for caring. V
