The tooth fairy was here

The tooth fairy was here tonight. I confess I'm sort of looking forward to seeing Samantha's expression tomorrow morning when she wakes up and finds a shiny gold dollar coin in her special tooth holder pillow :-)

Today was a bad day for her as far as knee pain goes, which means it was also a bad day for her as far as behavior goes, which means it was a bad day for me as far as keeping my cool with her goes. So much for signs of progress. Tomorrow will be better.

Sam and Joshua and I will be spending a lot of time together over the next couple of days since Amy leaves in the morning for New Jersey to attend a friend's wedding and won't be back until Wednesday, just in time for Samantha's next MRI.

That's in addition to appointments with the behavioral therapist on Monday, the accupuncturist on Tuesday, and the neurologist on Thursday. Poor Samantha -- doctors of one sort of another almost every day this week. This is going to be a long week, and no five year old should have to go through what she's going through.
