Tonsils out!


Well Kambree is having her tonsils and adenoids taken out on April 8Th. I am so happy about this because for about a year now I have suspected she might have Obstructive Sleep Apnea. She snores so so so bad at night and sometimes she will stop breathing. Her chest will raise but no oxygen is going into her lungs. She is not a good sleeper at night and often wakes up screaming and very upset. She is hard to deal with during the day and is tired most of the time. She tells me "mom I no feel good"...So today we took her to an Ear Nose and Throat Doctor and he agrees with my diagnosis. Kambree for sure has Obstructive Sleep Apnea. He could tell just by looking at her Tonsils that they were a problem. THEY ARE HUGE!!! This can be very bad if left untreated. It can cause an enlarged heart among other things. I'm not looking forward to her hurting or being in so much pain. And yes there are risks with this just like any other surgery. I feel confident that things will go great and hope for a speedy recovery for Kambree. Wish her luck!!!

GOOD LUCK! Estefan just had this done and is still recovering. He too has tonsils the size of Texas and the whole sleep apnea.
