Tates Tonsilectomy..

Earlier last summer Tate started to snore really bad...like really bad. He would snore (Or breath really heavy) even when he was awake. So in the fall I had him at the doctor for some other weird thing that only Tate could manage to have, anyway the doc checked his throat and said his tonsils were huge!! We had his checked by a specialist and there was no question that his tonsils needed to come out. So we went in the first week in January and had them removed. I am so glad we did, they were so big I can't believe they even fit in his throat!! No wonder the kid had breathing problems!! He did so awesome too not only in surgery but his recovery was amazing!! He was back to normal in about a week and we only had a few really hard mornings!! What a champ!! He is a whole new kid now, I am shocked. He doesn't snore at all now, his appetite his unreal and I'm sure its just the chip of the ice burg!!
Here he is getting ready for surgery!
Just after, Tate is still dazed and Carter is not so sure about the whole thing!

Total deer in the headlights!!

It doesn't do it justice but here are the tonsils, keep in mind these were in a 4 year old throat!!

  1. Wholly crap! Poor thing! Ben is getting his out come spring break, not due to snoring but due to strep throat 4 to 5 times a year. So glad he did great! Wow, just can't get over those 0_0.
