Bel needs to have her tonsils and adenoids out and she needs to have ear tubes put in to drain the fluid that refuses to drain on its own and has made her not able to hear very well (worse than the regular 4 year old deafness ; ). She has developed Sleep Apnea which means that we have our answer to why she has been very grumpy and sleepy for the last 2 years! Sleep Apnea means that because of enlarged tonsils and adenoids her breathing is obstructed at the back of her throat. So she snores (like a yeti) and then holds her breath and then takes a gasping breath. This is her regular 2 minute cycle when she sleeps. Not very resting for anyone! And because of the enlarged adenoids her ears don't drain...Her ENT specialist (Ears, Nose, Throat) is awesome, especially with kids, so we are in good hands...but prayers are always welcome!
She'll have this done in about a month and we are excited about the outcome but terrified of the thought that our little Bel will be put under general anesthesia...I guess any parent gets freaked out by the thought.
On our way to get groceries...more soon...
