Great to hear. We are our own best advocates
Glad she spoke up and that the places you went listened. My niece has a baby that's a few months old and was having some issues; the ER was ready to discharge him until my niece spoke up and said "No, this isn't normal for him, something is still up." They ran another couple tests and found that she was right -- something was wrong, and they were able to get him healthy and he's back home again.
Speak up when you see your doctor. Don't take no for an answer if you KNOW something is wrong.
