Well it looks as though we will be taking our Lovebug in to have a minor surgery. She has a swollen adenoid right behind her nose. An adenoid a lymhnod. It's the same thing when you have a sore throat and you feel swollen around your neck, except hers is behind her nose. This seems to complicate her breathing. She always says to me," Mommy I can't sneeze!" She means breath but says sneeze...so cute.
So the Dr says its not a complicated surgery. She should be done w/i 20 min. That I am grateful of! We dont have to worry about scars because they will be going in through her nose, YAY!!
The really good news is the benefits outweigh the risks 10/1. It is our prayer that she will be able to breath better. Her snoring will stop and she will sleep through the night. See she still wakes up at least once every night because she is thirsty. When she breaths through her mouth her throat gets dry which causes her to wake up, poor girl. So this is not only affecting her breathing but her sleep as well.
pls keep her in your prayers as we approach her surgery. We do not have a surgery date yet but it should be scheduled w/i the next 2 weeks.
Thanks in advance!!! :0) I will post an update as we approach
