Luca is getting his tonsils out!

We finally took Luca to an ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) doctor today.  Since he was born, we've noticed it always seems like he has a hard time breathing.  At first, we thought maybe he was allergic to our dog, Bianca.  We did notice a difference once we gave away Bianca, but he still would breathe out of his mouth instead of his nose.  He also had strep throat twice, his tonsils are huge, and when Corey and I go to cover him up before we go to bed we notice that it seems like he has sleep apnea.  He snores and his breathing pattern is off which disrupts his sleep.  Anyway...the doctor determined that he needs his tonsils and Adenoids removed which is an outpatient surgery that only lasts 20 minutes.  He will be getting anesthesia and he said the recovery is about a week, so Luca will have to drink lots of fluids and popsicles.   So please send positive vibes to the universe for Luca on the date of his surgery, June 24th! :)
