Shayla

I just realized I haven't updated here on Shayla in awhile. We did go to the dermatologist and he pulled at her hair and poked and prodded her and said it wasn't anything like alopecia but he didn't know what was causing it. Could be stress, could be a virus, could be anything. Ugh. He said sit around for 6-8 weeks and let's see what happens. I waited 2 weeks and couldn't take it any more. I called her primary and made a follow-up appointment. We went in today and he's still baffled. He said that his gut is saying it's nothing serious but he understands my concerns...if it were his child he wouldn't sit around and wait either. So he referred us to Childrens Hospital Of Philadelphia (one of the BEST children's hospitals in the country). I spoke to them earlier and faxed all of Shayla's blood test results, insurance card, etc. to them. I am now just waiting to hear back from them to schedule the appointment.
