Will's Surgery

Will had abnormally large tonsils and had been snoring and having some sleep apnea issues for a while.  We saw an ENT about 5 months ago and he said we would "watch" the tonsils.  They were a 3 out of 4 in size (4 being automatic tonsillectomy) at that time.  Over the next few months, his right tonsil grew and his snoring and sleep issues worsened.  We visited the ENT again in late October and Will had his tonsils and adenoids removed on November 8th. 

I was a nervous wreck prior to the surgery but Will did FANTASTIC!!! When we talked to the doctor post op, we were told that Will's adenoids were obstructing 95% of his nasal passages.  No wonder he was snoring and restless!!!  The first night after his surgery, he did not snore at all!  The recovery has gone pretty well.  He didn't want to eat for the first couple of days but after that, he has been eating soft foods like a champ!  His favorites are macaroni and cheese, simply gogurt, and popscicles!!!

Bill and I are so thankful that Will had the surgery!  We are looking forward to a more rested and peaceful Will!
