Issues with Rebecca!
So I need any advice that I can get right now! I had to take Rebecca to the ER the other night due to a swelling in her face. They said that it is an abscessed tooth or something that caused the swelling. She has a prescription that was given for antibiotics but it says take with food. The issue that I am having is due to her tooth being so sensitive she is not eating solid foods. She wants to nurse all the time and since we were almost finished with that minus nap time and night time the supply is not there. She will drink some milk and some juice but she is not even wanting to eat ice cream because it comes in the form of a entering her mouth on a spoon. She is hungry I am sure of it but refuses to eat. I got her to eat a go-gurt today and a little bit of a nutrigrain bar but otherwise it is all in the form of liquid. What does anyone suggest? i am about to just take her to the hospital and say do something because I am getting very nervous about this whole thing!

I'm not sure. As long as she is not dehydrated I doubt there is anything they would do at the hospital for her. Just give her the antibiotics (even if she won't eat with it) and the tooth should feel better soon, and her appetite will pick up. Gogurt is a good idea.
Does it seem like the tooth is getting better? When I had a tooth abscess they had to pull it completely.
Good luck! Keep us posted.
P.S. You can ask Dad and Jonathan to give her a blessing if you haven't yet.
I agree with Alison that as long as she's not dehydrated they most likely won't do anything. Hopefully she'll feel bette soon. And yes, a blessing wouldn't hurt! Keep us posted.
