The wait is over

We have been waiting for 5 months to have an appointment with the Hastings Hospital to see if they will remove Crazy 2s tonsils.  Finally the day came yesterday and within 5mins of sitting down with the specialist he said they have to come out!

I am so thrilled as the poor boy has snored since birth and now can be heard from his room when we are in the lounge with the tele on.  Needless to say we aren't looking forward to camping in the new year with him!

They said he will be seen within the next 8 weeks so the end is in sight.

This is a diagram of where they are within the mouth and the adenoids which will probably be removed as well.

Although I am terrified to think my baby will be on a table having these removed and I can't be there with him, the benefits far outweigh these concerns.  Along with the snoring he has apnea which is obviously a big concern for his age.
