Tonsil Trouble

Today we visited the ENT to discuss having Paige's tonsils removed.  Doctors have always made comments about how big they were, but since she does not get sick too often it was not a concern until recently.  The last time she was sick our doctor was very concerned with it becoming an issue of interfering with her breathing and after some discussion we decided to look into it further.  The ENT took one look today and said without a doubt they needed to come out. Officially she told me Paige had Pediatric Sleep Apnea.  She also called it "kissing tonsils".  To be honest I have always noticed she snores and she is more tired then I would expect her to be most days.  The doctor said we should see night and day results after surgery.  Not the way we were hoping to start our summer, but we are hoping for better days after she feels better!  I normally would not take a gross picture like the inside of a mouth, but I just wanted it documented on my blog how big they were before they were taken out.  Lol. Sorry!  And this picture is on a totally healthy day.  They get bigger if she is sick!  Yikes!
