Tonsillectomy

Caleb has always had large tonsils for his body, even when he was two years old his pediatrician told us to watch them and see if he would grow into them. He has always been a snorer because of this, but more recently he has been having trouble sleeping and in the morning he would hold his breath and then exhale slowly (I wonder if it was some compensation to get more oxygen). So we took him to the Ear Nose Throat Dr. and they said his tonsils were large enough to be taken out for the reason alone of obstruction. Normal tonsils barely show up on the sides of the throat but Caleb's were almost touching. This morning I was getting some strong contractions, and wondered if I would be able to take Caleb in, but after I got moving they slowed down again. (I have been getting these almost every morning, she is definitely practicing up for her big debut.) Caleb was so brave, he was really nervous before going in and talked to Matt and Luke on the phone to help calm his nerves. It is so hard for me to see him look so rough and sickly when he first came out of surgery. He wasn't able to breath very well so the respiratory therapist did a breathing treatment for him. He is doing a lot better now but so tired, dizzy, and hurting. I hope it is all worth it.
