Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Faith is 10 and still has her tonsils, they don't seem to be causing any problems. She had a few ear infections around 4 years old, but hasn't had any throat or ear problems for a few years. ette -------------- Original message from Spizzirri <jessica@...>: -------------- Hello and welcome!I hope the surgery went well. Sophia is 7 and has not yet had to have her tonsils or adenoids out. I am curious if everyone has already had this surgery? For awhile it seemed we were headed in this direction because of her snoring but as she has aged, she has outgrown it. My ENT told me that the adenoids start shrinking around this age. What is the number one reason kids with DS usually have tonsils/adenoids removed? He also told me adenoid removal can affect speech due to hypernasality. I didn't want to take any steps backward in the speech arena either.Mom to Mira, 9, and Sophia, 7, with DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
