Hi I'm Zarek (ZaZa), please help me get surgery.

Hi I'm ZaZa,

I was born on 11.11.2015. I have grade 4 tonsils that means they touch if I'm lucky I get a small gap but they never go down, my whole life I've impressed the doctors with how huge they are. I don't understand why I'm always sick, why I can never attend my swimming lessons, why I cannot go to a playcentre. I always have to take antibiotics, on my last trip to the GP the doctor didn't want to give me antibiotics because I had not long finished a course and pumping me with antibiotics wasn't good, Daddy said he understood but tried to explain I would just get worse, sure enough in a few days I was in hospital with a fever of nearly 40 shaky and felt really terrible.

Sometimes I stop breathing when I sleep and sometimes I wake up choking on my tonsils til I vomit (Mummy will put a video of me sitting in the hallway still choking after having choke vomitted through my bed while i was asleep- she had taken the video in 2017 to try show the doctor/s how bad I was). I make my daddy sleep with me every night now because we are both scared. We have become very talented at being able to catch my vomit now.

I have been waiting a long time to have surgery, I get surgery dates only to be too sick on that day. When I was discharged from hospital today with the same plan they gave me in December 2017 and told to come back if I turn blue, Mummy and Daddy asked for a second opinion only to be sent in a nurse who nicely says there is no second opinion, you can write a complaint or go private.

Please help us raise enough money to go private, mummy and daddy have tried alternatives to help me like seeing a chiropractor, we are not rich and I have a big brother and 2 sisters, mummy and daddy have had to get work so that either mum or dad work while the other one stays with me because of how sick I always get. Please if you can help me get a private tonsillectomy so that it can be done when I am at my best, I would be so grateful to be able to start living the life mummy and daddy say I deserve. Thankyou.
