Surgery time

When we first met Natalie and she opened her mouth our first reaction was, LOOK AT THOSE TONSILS! Holy cow, they touch her uvula! HUGE. So we knew a couple things. 1. They would have to come out. 2. They were probably causing sleep apnea. 3. She may have eating problems. 

1 and 2 were totally true. They do cause sleep apnea and they are coming out tomorrow. She really doesn't have major eating problems. But our last straw was her eating evaluation with her speech therapist Julie, who is AMAZING. She is at Parkview Pediatric rehab, and she discovered that a large amount of food was getting stuck in her tonsils. Yikes. She could easily inhale this food, choke, etc. 

So here we are, we have to be at PRMC at 7am tomorrow and those bad boys are coming out of there, along with adenoids. Here is what we are praying for! That it goes smoothly, that she handles the anesthesia ok, that she will feel much better having them out, breath better, sleep better, no more complaining about it hurting when she eats! And that she gets as much ice cream as she wants, of course!
