Should I be worried? (cause I am!)

My 8 year old daughter weighed 61 pounds just 2 weeks ago. Today, I weighed
her after noticing her chest bones sticking out, and found she was 58 pounds.
Why the sudden 3 pound loss? I wouldn't be too worried except for the fact that she's already
so thin. Has this happened to any of you? Can it be explained by an increase in height?

Yes height  probably has something to do with it, is she eating and drinking okay, how is her health , has she any concerns, anything new happened in her life may be worrysome to her. It may be a good idea to ask your Doctor aswell get him to check her over. Good Luck
