Do you see that?
I discovered the other day that my baby girls' tonsils are HUGE. The doctor said maybe she'd grow into them. Wow. That's a lot of growing to be had.
I think I vote for an eventual tonsillectomy.
Suddenly it is dawning on me that I had mine out before I was in Kindergarten...was I like this, Dad?
I can't help but wonder if this is why she has a raspy, 'smoker's' voice. It's stinking cute on a two year old...
Katelyn's tonsils are HUGE too! They almost touch. We have to sit in her room at night on occassion and listen for sleep apnea. I want them out, but the dr. says the same thing, that she will grow into them. Last year she had strep throat three times in five weeks. One more time and she would have had them out. But, she hasn't had it since, so I guess the tonsils stay. I got my tonsils out when I was 25 and it was absolutely HORRIBLE. Worse than anything. I don't want that to happen to Katelyn. Sorry, I had to share after seeing the picture of Ali's tonsils!
ReplyDeleteAmelia just had her tonsils, and adenoids out and tubes put back in her ears. She struggled with breathing during sleep and getting sinus infections. She never had strep throat, but her tonsils were huge. I am glad she had them removed, but I wouldn't wish that on any parent. Amelia doesn't remember a thing, but it was so sad. Such a long recovery too! I will say, if you're going to have them out, get it done while they're young. The older the patient, the harder the recovery.
