That's what the pediatric ENT said about The Daughter's tonsils. He said her tonsils and adenoids were both so large the they completely covered her airway and he didn't see how she was breathing at all. This is when she is well. When she is sick with Strep or whatever, it gets worse. She's been snoring like a freight train since birth, so for 6 years now. I wish we would have had them removed sooner.
Afterall all she had to do was breathe some Princess Perfume and go to sleep like Sleeping Beauty. First day she felt fine, ate well, minimal pain. Second day she asked for pain meds. Third day she couldn't get out of bed, too tired, and had high fever. Fourth day fever continued added with vomiting and ear pain. Currently awaiting doctor's instructions on further methods of treatment, may include trip to ER with 18 year old, 22 month old, and 2 week old in tow. In the snow.
Great fun.
But hey, if the temps stay low for another day or so, we might be able to ice skate in the pool!

uh oh... tosilectomies, from what ive heard from my best friend(well.. she WAS@@) is the worst pain imaginable. i hope Daughter isnt getting an infection.. if only Shadow had the sense of a billy goat, you could leave BB home with her, and just take the baby and daughter... UGH. i wish i could help!
Oh no! How's she doing now? Eating tons of ice cream and feeling better, I hope! (PS - all I wanted were those miniature marshmallows when I had mine done at age 4)
