It's Official--Emerie does need her tonsils out!!

Emerie screamed at LabCorp getting her blood drawn. But she was definitely wanting her photo taken with her "battle scar"!

We went to the ENT doctor today. He said her tonsils were "ridiculous" (yes--I know this is your favorite word Dad!!--Hee-Hee!) He hardly ever sees them that large! He actually wants us to do a sleep test on her first. We will get that scheduled right away when they call after it has been approved by the insurance. He also wants a blood test--which we did at LabCorp on the way home--to see what her oxygen levels are normally and then the sleep test will test her oxygen as she sleeps to see if it goes down. I guess sleep apnea is a very serious thing! It can be dangerous for your oxygen level to go down too low as you are sleeping! After the sleep test then we will set up the actual tonsilectomy appointment. I guess it won't be outpatient afterall because Emerie has sleep apnea they want her to stay overnight to watch her through the night! We will keep you posted!!
