Today I am grateful. Grateful for my kids. My healthy kids.
Back in January my son had to see an otorhinolaryngologist due to a tonsil infection + oral breathing + snoring while we were vacationing in Brazil and the doctor mentioned a surgery to remove obstruction due to enlarged adenoids. I know it should not be a big deal, such a common surgery, but it was for me. My son would be under corticosteroids until coming back to Canada and that scared the hell out of me too (ever since my past life, as a veterinarian, I have never been a fan of corticosteroids).
A few days later, back in Canada we saw our family doctor and he arranged an appointment with an otorhinolaryngologist for my son at Children’s Hospital. Well, we are talking February here but it was only last Friday – July 11th – that our son finally had his appointment. And it couldn’t have been better : he is fine, perfectly fine and there’s no need to have his adenoids removed. We were sooo glad and… grateful.
And just to rule things out the doctor sent my son to a Pediatric Allergist – which I thought would take forever again to get an appointment but no! – today we saw her and great news again… no allergies!
Grateful again.
Sounds silly, I know, but I believe it is really important to remind to be grateful – everyday – for all the blessings in our lives.
Today I am grateful… grateful for my kids… for my healthy, beautiful kids.
right after we came back from the doctor’s office today, i saw my son doing this:

i just had to grab my camera!
yes, life is good!
and here is his little arm tested negative for some allergens:
