Krishna Ali is a cheerful 4-year-old...
Krishna Ali is a cheerful 4-year-old girl who loves preschool and singing. She lives with her parents, who noticed she was often tired, snored loudly every night, and seemed to have frequent 'colds' with a constantly runny nose. Despite antibiotics, her symptoms never fully cleared, and her teachers mentioned she sometimes seemed inattentive. An ENT specialist diagnosed her with large, obstructive adenoids and chronic fluid in her ears (glue ear), causing conductive hearing loss. The doctor recommended an adenoidectomy with bilateral grommet (ear tube) insertion. Krishna was anxious about the hospital, but the child-life specialist used a teddy bear to explain the procedure. The surgery was quick and successful. In recovery, she was groggy but comforted by her parents. Within weeks, her snoring stopped, her energy returned, and her speech clarity improved dramatically. Her parents wept with relief hearing her sing clearly again. The emotional journey moved from parental worry and frustration over her constant illnesses to immense relief and joy at seeing their vibrant daughter fully engaged in her world.
