Tonsils and Adenoids Surgery











Our sweet little Samantha had to have her tonsils and adenoids taken out this week. Her pediatrician said even though she has not been sick, her tonsils are so big that they are touching one another and it could cause problems in the future. So after a lot of back and forth we decided it would be best for them to come out. Chris and I were at the hospital at 6:30 in the morning and when they gave Samantha the "happy juice" it was like looking into a crystal ball to an eighteen year old girl that had came home drunk and everything was hilarious. Samantha was so happy and giggly that when the time came to go to the operating room she climed in the wagon and away we went. The surgery was quick and when Dr. Woodson came to talk to us she said Samantha had an 80% airway obstruction from her adenoids plus the enlarged tonsils. Chris and I were so relieved that we made the right choice and we can't wait until she feels better because it has to be such a great feeling to her to be able to breathe now! She has been amazing through this whole process and we are sooo proud of her!
