Ashlynne has a nack for getting strep throat way too often. Over the last about 6 months she's had it 5 times, the last 3 were within 2 1/2 months of eachother and the last 2 were 13 days apart. It was decided that it was time to see the ENT about the problem. I took her in two weeks ago and it was easily decided that it was time for her to make a visit to the operating room. The surgery was scheduled for a week and a half later. Last Friday we got up early and were at the hospital at 6am. Ashlynne had her tonsils and adnoids removed and a short time later we were back with her. Dr. Ventura is amazing, he had her in and out and she did wonderful. He said that her tonsils were quite big and not just that but they were long as well, he also said that her adnoids were the size of one of her tonsils. He said she should even be able to breathe better now that they've been removed. She was such a trooper, a little nervous about it before-hand but not too bad. She did so good afterwards as well. She had a hard time on Friday but that's to be expected on the day of surgery. Saturday she was doing so well she didn't even want her pain meds. It's been slow going since but she is eating so much better and is going back to school tomorrow. What an amazing daughter we have!!!
WE ARE SO PROUD OF OUR LITTLE GIRL!!!
