After too many sick days this school year and too many sore throats we decided to take Cam and his huge tonsils to get checked out by a Pediatric ENT.Just as we suspected....they need to come out.
I learned alot about tonsils during Camden's appointment.
1. Tonsils are really lymph nodes.
2. Large/problematic tonsils can cause sleep apnea, attention issues during the day, increase in drainage/sinus issues and can delay growth. They also cause bad breath.
So Cam's big day is coming up in less than 2 weeks. He said he isn't scared but ..
"My tonsils are nervous".
Cam is choosing to think about the ice cream, Popsicles
and sprite that he gets to have for a while.
At least he can see the silver lining.
For Brad and me...the silver lining is hopefully a healthy little boy with rare sore throats.
