Tonsils...I hate you


Back in June, Trinity had 2 serious strep infections..she had to miss a good friends party because of the second, and had to be taken to the ER because she passed out from the fever that accompanied it... This is not a new thing, we have been struggling with Strep Throats for about 3 1/2 years now. She has had sleep apnea since she was born, but, it's just something that we have learned to deal with. It was the primary reason she slept with us in the beginning...she would stop breathing entirely then gasp for air. Apparently her adenoids are super enlarged too, which can attribute to her tell tale voice. We were reccomended to her ENT and he still sees the white spots on her inflammed tonsils. Result...remove the tonsils and adenoids. There is a 2 week recovery period, and school starts in 3 weeks! So much for a fancy free summer for Miss T. We will get the appointment date in the next couple days. I will keep you all posted.
