Ryleigh is following in her mom's footsteps (dad's too). She has tonsillitis AGAIN! This is her third time in 2.5 months. It looks like an ENT will be in her future and possible removal of those pesky things.
The doctor is hoping that she will go at least till April w/out a reoccurance. He told me that if she gets it 2 more times in the next few months we're looking at ENT. He did say that they like to wait till she is 3. I am all for removing those pesky germ filled sacks. They have been nothing but problems for her this year and I just feel so bad. Keep me posted on Elizabeth's. I will want details!!!!
Just FYI there were two kids in the hospital the same day as Elizabeth getting the tonsillectomies too who were younger than her. They were listed as 1 year olds on the board, one looked closer to 2 to me. But still. Both younger than Ryleigh.
I think it stinks that they will wait for her to get it two more times, you should be able to get a referral based on THREE occurences of tonsilitis in one year. I'm telling you, tell the doc she's breathing funny at night...out they come.
Elizabeth's ACTUAL surgery went fine... the aftermath issues are on my blog. Sigh. We're thinking now that Dylan will likely be having to get his taken out as well, as they are also huge... Fun times. My husband said I should get mine out too...two-for-one deal?? He claims I snore. I don't believe him.

She's still little too! I'll let you know how Elizabeth's -ectomy goes so you'll at least know what to expect!
Poor dear!
