In the end of August last year, Jonas was just always sick with a nasty throat. Strep Throat, Tonsilitis, SNORING LIKE A GROWN MAN, yucky nose all the time. I would snuggle him while he'd take a nap each day and he would stop breathing and choke every 1/2 hour or so! It was scary! I finally had enough and asked for a refurral. The Ear Nose and Throat doc took one look in his throat and said his throat was almost blocked by the tonsils and adenoids, and that they definitely needed to come out. Jonas had last been seen by a doctor two weeks before that, and still had the same infection in them that wouldn't go away! I didn't want it to interfere with his first few weeks of school, so we hurried and got them out in late August. Jonas was SUCH a trooper! He is just fearless! The poor kid got them taken out and seemed to be doing so well and overdid it a little that first day. The next day he rested, but not for long because he would get so bored! He'd go back and forth from doing well to looking not so great, but we just couldn't keep him down and resting for very long! In the end, the worst day was day 5 or 6, but after that he was great, and just kept getting better each day! He worried me a little there for those few days, but it was worth it! NO MORE SNORING and no more yucky throat and nose! I never thought that poor kid would ever become sick of icecream and popsicles, but boy, was he ready for real food again!
