Ya, she's mostly happy. She had a rough start, so life for her is pretty good these days. As I said, you pretty much grow into the role, so while a typical parent might find it grueling, for us, it's mostly business as usual. We have to watch a lot of things, and there's always medical issues (did I ever tell you about our emergency stay in a Jamaican hospital??)
On a plus side, she doesn't yell at all, and stopped pulling her trach out at inopportune times. Overall a great kid, and we're lucky she's come as far as she has. It was really touch and go for the first 6 months, we pretty much lived at the hospital.
