We took these pictures with Dax's phone, so they're a little blurry!

We have had a crazy couple of days! Navie had her tonsils and adenoids out on Wednesday. Every time that we would go to the doctor somebody would comment on how big her tonsils were. Then when we were down at Primary Children’s for her appointment with the Nephrologists she told us that we should really consider getting them out. Dax also found an article that talked about how hard it was for little kids to sleep when they have large tonsils. The article said that it's like being poked all night long. So the next time that I was in for Ridge's well child I asked their doctor, and she said that it definitely could be affecting her. We have been having the hardest time dealing with naps lately. She doesn't want to take them anymore, but when she doesn't have them she is sooo ornery. Then when we give them to her she wants to sleep for 2 1/2 hours and still wakes up ornery and tired. We have tried everything and have even tried to wake her up after an hour with no help! Oh, and she snores like crazy! Sometimes we can hear her from our bedroom when she is asleep in her bedroom.

So I went to the Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist on Friday. He asked me my story, so I told him everything I said above. He looked at her tonsils and said okay let’s schedule it. I was a little taken back. I wanted to make sure that this was the right thing to do. I asked him a bunch of questions to make sure I had not given him the wrong impression and he just laughed and told me that her tonsils were HUGE. He said that only 1% of the population has tonsils the size of hers, and that the surgery had to help her. So that was that, I was out the door in 20 minutes with my little girl scheduled for surgery on Wednesday.

So fast forward to Wednesday…her surgery was at 6:30 in the morning at McKay Dee Hospital . Navie was okay with everything until they called her back to change into her gown. She DID NOT want to put it on. We tried every single “trick” to get it on, and she TRIPPED out. We finally got it on her, but she would not even think of taking the rest of her clothes off! You could tell she was getting a little nervous. After sitting there for 45 minutes or so they finally gave her some meds that made her loopy and more compliant and then took her back in the wagon. The doctor came and got us after the surgery and said it went great and that her tonsils and adenoids really were HUGE.

When we finally got to see her she was crying for her mommy. Oh, how can my heart break any more? That was one of the saddest moments ever. She cried like that and just laid on me for the next hour or two. Once they got her medication in her she is happy and almost normal, but once the meds wear off she starts to be lethargic and in pain again. I am just so thankful that it is over and we just hope that it helps!
