My Samantha was blessed with my abnormally large tonsils. She snored SO loud and choked on food because they were SO big. I finally decided to take her to the ENT and I am so glad I did!
She had her tonsils and adenoids taken out a couple weeks ago. She has been fabulous since. I was very nervous about her having surgery but it seriously has not even phased her. To be honest we (Shane and I) were kind of looking forward to her laying around watching t.v. and movies for a few days (she is our CRAZY child) but nope she wanted to be out playing with her friends or up running around. She did have her daily breakdowns because she couldn't go to school. I also threw away all the flip flops they were so gross from summer and she had some meltdowns because she had to wear actual shoes.
The doctor showed us her tonsils after surgery and they really were huge I almost threw up . She said they were touching each other in the back. So all in all it was an excellent thing and I am hoping she will be a healthier child with much less step throat than I had growing up!! Here are some pics from my phone..
Trying to show us her tonsils for the last time.
Getting ready to go back to surgery.
She is such a Daddys girl. She only wanted Shane right after.
Getting wheeled to the van afterwards.
It was hat day at school yesterday. She looks so old to me in this picture its kind of sad she is a big girl now!!
