What is the Purpose of tonsils? Adenoids?

Let's hope it's nothing too important because Ana is about to have hers out!

Next Tuesday, barring no infections (currently she's with sinus infection), she'll be admitted and put under waking less 2 "body parts" (ok they're not really "body parts" per say, but it sounds better than MASSES so I went with it)

She's already processing it all and telling everyone about her "ENT and how her tonsils ARE SO BIG and need to come out.  How they'll hurt for a little, and there will be a little blood, but that she'll be a lot better afterward."

This decision was made this AM at her 1st ENT appointment for snoring, drooling and sleep apnea as well as multiple cases of "strep throat" in her short 3 little years of life.  

To be honest I wasn't expecting to leave the office with a surgery scheduled for 1 week away, but I guess why post pone the inevitable, right???????

Now both girls will have one more right of passage under their belt- a visit to the OR under anesthesia.  Who would've thought it'd happen so young?!?!?!?!?

We'll keep you posted, but in the meantime.... happy thoughts for little Ana's quick and painless recovery!
