Justin's tonsils

Justin has been suffering for way too long with strep. He gets sooo sick! 102.9 fever, achy body, falls asleep instantly and severe vomiting. It comes on sooo suddenly. The Pediatrician kept saying 6 times a year for a referral. But my instinct said just bring him to the specialist and I didn't.
Until...
He got strep right at the start of Christmas break. We had enough strep for a referral so off we went to the ENT. And she took one look in his throat and said "Those need to come out!" They are HUGE, they make him have a throaty voice, there are pockets on them harboring dorment strep so that anytime he gets run down or a cold the strep flares up. He is snoring and some nights it is keeping him from REM sleep - which is where your body becomes paralyized as you dream - since he doesn't enter REM he acts out his dreams in his sleep which is why we are seeing him sleep walk. I should of listened to my instincts! She said just on the size of his tonsils she would have yanked them a while ago!
Surgery is scheduled the Thursday prior to his 2 week spring break. He goes in March 15th. He will have to take it easy for a week and then should be able to enjoy his last week of vacation.
