Goodbye, Adenoids! Hello, Summer!

Let me tell y'all... For us, having Abby's adenoids out was an absolute life saving, game changing, hand clapping, hallelujah singing, praise the Lord kind of surgery. We dealt with A LOT over the winter trying to get her well and avoid surgery, but there comes a point when enough is enough. Enter Dr. Klug. I adore him, and Abby wants to marry him. She asked about him weeks after the surgery, and was pretty bummed when his nurse did our follow up appointment. If you met him, you would see why, too. He absolutely gave us our little girl back. Before we did this surgery, Abby was in and out of doctor's offices, not sleeping, not eating, and on about 90 straight days of an antibiotic. Dr. Klug made the call, and we scheduled her appointment for a month later. Here we are going through several breathing treatments at the Peditrician's office:  

And now we wait... But we have to get sick one more time before the surgery. This forced us to move the surgery a week earlier than previously scheduled. This last round of bronchitis also forced us to postpone Charlie's birthday party. Poor thing...

Finally, the day is here. I never thought I would be "excited" to have my child undergo surgery. That's probably not the right word I am looking for, but we were very ready. The last picture is post-op- she has no clue what's going on.

A few days later we were eating hot dogs at Target and buying a Hello Kitty bathing suit. Who would've known?!

In the midst of all of this it really made us very sympathetic to those families that have children that are truly very sick. What we dealt with wasn't even a tip of the iceberg that some are going through; hats off to you. We are very lucky that we have two healthy children, for some do not. Finally, we can relax, catch our breath, and enjoy summer...

Have I told y'all that I am obsessed with red shoes?!
