Well, there is some news...but it doesn't have much to do with Lynn. She took Carlee in to see the doctor, an ears, nose and throat specialist, and it looks like she is going to have to have her tonsils out! Her airway is 70% blocked, and that explains all the gasping and wheezing sounds she makes when she is sleeping. Her adnoids are also probably enlarged, which also contributes to the problem. Lynn set up the operation for June 14. She will be in the hospital overnight assuming everything goes well. Before that, we have to have her get a sleep test. That will involve going to a sleep laboratory, having her hooked up to a bunch of sensors, and then trying to get her to go to sleep. This event will occur in the next three weeks. One of the parents will spend the night with her - as you can expect, Lynn will be in no condition to do this after only 2 weeks after having open heart surgery, so it is going to have to be Daddy, whether she likes it or not.
