ENT Visit - Tonsils and Adenoids

We had Jack's appointment with the ENT Specialist this morning.  Jack's tonsils are huge (the specialist let me take a peek)!  He called them "kissing tonsils", when tonsils meet in the midline or overlap.  It is unusual for tonsils to touch or meet in the midline without protrusion of the tongue.  His adenoids are also very large and this is why he has a hard time breathing out of his nose and snores when he sleeps.  We scheduled surgery to have both his tonsils and adenoids removed on June 21.  Once they are removed, the specialist said he will be a new little boy!!  Jack will have to stay one night in the hospital.  All kids under the age of 4, must stay 23 hours after surgery.  I know it's going to be a tough few days but if it will make our little guy stay well, it will be worth it.
