My Kira is a trooper!
She had her appointment with the ENT this week and had to have a camera test done.....up her nose and down to look at her adenoids. Going in to the appointment I really didn't think that there was ANY way we were going to get this test done but shocker of shocks......she let them do it. She wasn't happy and it wasn't without tears but we got the test done.
And the test showed that her adenoids are HUGE. There is very little space for her to swallow ANYTHING and it's also most likely what is causing her snoring, bad sleep, gagging, etc. So the adenoids need to come out. They couldn't see her tonsils and didn't want to push her on the test. Her dr will look at her tonsils when he's in there and make the call then.
So she is scheduled for February 9th. It wasn't an emergency but they also didn't want to wait too long since her breathing is somewhat affected.
I feel awful that she has to go through one more thing but hopefully this will make her feel better. I just realized today that she will have to miss her field trip at school, the Valentines party and maybe the 100th day of school celebration. Boo.
For now, I'm trying to not think about it because we are going to party this weekend at the Children's Museum to celebrate Kira and Eva's birthday! (Eva turns 2 on Feb. 23!)
Watch for pictures!!

What a brave girl. Tell her that your 34 year old friend would have a hard time with that test, too. And what a bummer all this is going to cause her to miss and well, surgery just isn't fun. Even minor surgery. Prayers for a smooth surgery and hopefully some major improvements b/c of it. I bet her quality of sleep will improve greatly and you'll see it in her being less tired <3
