Baili has to get her tonsils removed and her adenoids removed. Long story short it will help with her sleep apnea, eating, gaining weight, chronic double ear infections, and among other things. I just don't wanna do it!! I feel like a kid and want to yell.... I DON'T wanna!!!! They have to put her under and I am very afraid every time we do anesthesia. Especially on a 2 yr old.
September 8 is the big day. :*( She will be in the hospital for two days for monitoring since she is only 2 yrs old. Her sleep apnea seems to be getting worse so we are doing it now. It isn't okay to stop breathing when sleeping she does it all night long. Her tonsils are a level 4? Level 1 is the smallest and level 4 is as big as they can get. Yeah. That is just great (being sarcastic)! We were referred to the ENT doctor from the pediatrician. He took one look and said she needs them out. After asking us many questions. That means they almost touch. They are big for a 2 yr old and Baili is less than half the size of an average 2 yr old. Well I don't know... We are below the charts meaning the negative section... So we are small. So having tonsils very enlarged affects her a lot. She will be able to eat better and gain weight, less ear infections, coughing, and most importantly her sleep apnea. It isn't a for sure deal that she has it like a sleep study but we watch her wake up all night long and stop breathing since birth. I guess I ignored it because I didn't want another deal.
Maybe I will get a good nights rest too once we are healed and done with all of this....
On a positive note she is happy as ever and starting to do a few steps and standing all by herself. We are so proud of her every single day! Little miracle baby/toddler! Here are some pics of Baili over the past few years...
Baili will start her preschool in PVSD Paradise Valley School District in December when she turns 3. :)
Love,
The Mama
