that it's been almost three months since Joy has been to the doctor for any kind of illness.
She had her tonsils/adenoids out at the end of September. It was a rough surgery and she spent three days in the hospital because of dehydration.
But since coming home, the only thing she's been to the pediatrician for is a flu shot. This is incredible considering we were being seen at least twice monthly for upper respiratory infections, ear infections and even a couple cases of pneumonia.
She has a chunky cough right now, but there's no runny nose, no fever, no watery eyes. It's like the tonsils were just sitting there, catching all the infection and holding on to it.
As an added bonus, she definitely breathes better and sleeps better at night. I'm so thankful we decided to have this surgery. It was a hard decision, but has turned out to be the right one for us.

So glad that she's feeling better and not seeing the docs as much as she used to. I'm sure it's a welcome relief.
