Poor Alyssa! If it isn't one thing, it's another. Earlier in her young life Alyssa had to deal with ear infection after ear infection. On one occasion, when she was very little, I held her in my arms the entire night. Each time she fell asleep I tried to lay her down next to me, so I could get some rest, and she would wake up instantly crying. It was obviously very painful for her. We had tubes put in her ears and she did better for a while, but soon the tubes fell out and things got worse again. After another set of tubes, and the removal of her adenoids, things improved. This past year we have gone from ear infections to strep throat. In the past 4 months alone she's had strep 4 times. Enough is enough, we finally decided to have her tonsils removed, so on Friday Alyssa had a tonsillectomy. Hopefully she will finally be able to go more than a month without having to see the doctor! One thing we have noticed is that she is sleeping much more soundly. She doesn't snore anymore, and doesn't toss and turn all night long. I used to say she slept like Taz, the tasmanian devil, but not anymore!
