Kadence's Dr Visit

Yesterday we had to take Kadence to an Ear Nose and Throat Dr to see if her tonsils need to be taken out. We have been told they are very large by some Dr's and others have said they aren't that big. Recently Kadence has stopped breathing in her sleep. She has done it since she was a baby but now when she wakes up in the morning she tells us 'I didn't sleep very good.' It just about breaks my heart. We took her to her pediatrician who after a look at her tonsils wanted to skip a sleep study and go straight to an ENT specialist. Our ENT Dr. took a glance in and said, 'Have you guys seen these?!' I guess her throat doesn't have very much room left in it. When Kadence falls asleep and her throat muscles relax, her tonsils actually close off her throat. As she wakes up they tense back up and she is able to breath again. Kind of scary right? Our insurance will only let us go to Ogden Regional and Ogden Regional only gives our Dr two blocks of time a month at the hospital. So we have to wait, her tonsils and adenoids will be removed on the 18th of September.
