Thanks everyone. It has been a bad week for teeth. I just got an email from Joe - they say she has blood poisoning and will admit her for 5-10 days. I'm rather freaked out and feeling especially stressed in that I have a nursing toddler and a little girl in the hospital - both who need me and can't be in the same place at the same time.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Drive-by ice creamings sound like the best thing ever.
Honestly, getting Ellie into the habit of brushing after she eats - always - would be better than denying treats.
I like the idea of the trike omnis, I really hope it works.
ION, I have DH's cold. Maybe not as bad as he had it, but still - DON'T WANT

I'm sorry -- I hope things get better for Ellie quickly

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I just got an email from Joe - they say she has blood poisoning and will admit her for 5-10 days.
Oh, my goodness! Poor Ellie! And poor you -- *of course* you're freaked out and stressed!
Is there anything I can do from Ohio?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, poor little thing! And poor parents! I hope she's as unscared and brave as possible.

Because books.
Oh, Stephanie! Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. Poor all of you! Sending all kinds of Jedi vibes to Ellie, the poor noodle.

Thanks, everyone. Steph, thanks for the offer and if I think of anything, I'll take you up on it.
I think my mom is going to come out. I feel a bit bad saying yes to her offer - since she is a teacher - but I just need someone else who can be okay with watching Frisco.

Don't feel bad! This isn't a hangnail we're talking about. This is the exactly right time for some mom help.

Lots of medical~fu for Ellie, Stephanie. That is a really tough place to be in. I don't think you should feel bad about your mom. Seriously, as someone with adult children, their woes can be just as important to a parent as a 4-year old's. It's important to her to be there for you.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sending much healing~ma to Padawan Ellie, and coping~ma for you and Joe. How scary!

I second this. The thing is, she IS going to get sweets - if not in your home, elsewhere. If not in her childhood, in her teens and twenties. If you teach her to brush a lot, you give her teeth more protection than they would have if you tried to protect her from sweets.
