We took Kassi to the ENT on Wednesday. He said she has chronic tonsillitis and they have got to come out. When we were there they were enlarged, but he said the infection was gone. She had just gotten off of her third antibiotic so we thought we would be good until her surgery next week. She was still asleep when I left this morning and when I came home at lunch I noticed her voice was the worst it had been. When I looked at her tonsils they were the biggest they have been. They were touching and the white was coming back. I called the ENT, slightly panicked, because if she is talking like this I imagine she is having a hard time breathing too. She says she is breathing fine, but I just don't know. The ENT office said to start back on antibiotics and take her to the ER if I feel her airway is blocked at all.
So here we are on antibiotic number four and me trying not to panic. Being very familiar with the signs of lack of oxygen I am watching her closely. I don't know what the ER here could do. It's not like we have an ENT here that could take them out in an emergency situation. So I wait, I watch and I worry.
I took a video for her to hear the difference in her voice now.
