So Jake walked up to her and woke her up.
"Izzy, come on we're taking you to the hospital." Jake said to her.

"Of course you are Izzy, your my everything to me and I won't let anything happen to you." I said to her.
"Oh my God Jake, thanks. I love you so...so...so...much!" Izzy said to me as a tear came down her cheek as she hugged me tight as she fell asleep.
As Izzy fell asleep, I kissed her forehead, without saying three words to her.
"I love you Izzy!" I said to her.
"And I love you too Jake." Izzy said to me sleeply.
The next morning it was Izzy's appointment with the doctor.
"Izzy, wake up, you have an appointment today at seven." I said to her as she didn't wake up.
" Izzy, IZZ?" I screamed her name but no answer.
"Cubby wake up." I said to him as he woke up rubbing his eyes.
"Jake, what's up?" Cubby asked me.
"Izzy stopped breathing." I said to him.
But after 15 seconds were up Izzy woke up.
"Morning!" Izzy said to us.
"Oh, thanks God. It's a good thing we're going to the hospital for your appointment Izzy." I said to her.
"So, I think we should we breakfast, before we leave?" Cubby asked us.
"Yeah, we might as well." I said to him as the three of us ate our breakfast.
After we were done eating our breakfast, we went to the doctor.
Once we arrived, Izzy was scared
"Jake, I'm scared." Izzy said to me.
"Hey, don't worry Izzy, your going to be fine." I said to her.
As the doctor came in, and called Izzy's name, we went to his doctor's office.
"Good morning Izzy, what brings you here?"
"Well, I have been having trouble swallowing, and it hurts, and I have been having trouble breathing three times this happen." Izzy said to the doctor.
" Yeah the first time it happen is when she was taking a nap on the couch, the second time it happen is when she was taking her second nap, and the last one on was 20 minutes ago." I said to the doctor.
"Well let me take a look." The doctor said to her as she opened her mouth.
As the doctor was done, he turned around towards Cubby and me.
"How is she?" I asked him.
"Well, she will be needing surgery to take it out." The doctor said to me.
"We might need to do some tests on her now, by putting a camera down her throat." The doctor said to us.
Excuse me doctor, but how are you going to put a camera into her throat?" I asked him.
"By putting a needle into her nose of course." The doctor said to me as Izzy started to freak out.
So as Izzy was freaking out, we came rushing towards her to calm her down.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's going to be okay." I said to her as she started to cry.
" I...I..I'm... scared..Jake." Izzy said to me.
"I know you are Izzy, bit Cubby and I well be with you." I said to her as Cubby nodded.
So as the doctor came back, he was ready to put the needle into her nose to see what's really going on.
"Okay Izzy, you ready?" The doctor asked her.
"I think so." Izzy said to him as she wiped her tears away.
As the doctor turned on the monitor, he started to put the needle into her nose and down her throat.
As the three of us were looking at the monitor, Cubby and I could see her tonsils and adenoids.
"Okay you see her adenoids?" The doctor asked us as we nodded our heads.
" Well, that's what's causing her to stop breathing, and that's why she's having trouble breathing." The doctor said to us.
"So she's going to have both her tonsils and adenoids taken out?" Cubby asked the doctor.
"Yes!" The doctor said to us as we looked at Izzy.
"Izzy it's okay, be brave for us." I said to her as I have her a kiss on the cheek.
So, as the doctor took out the needle from Izzy's nose, she started coughing.
"Hey, it's okay your okay." I said to her as I pulled her in for a hug to calm her down as Cubby did the same.
"So, starting next week, I don't want Izzy to eat or drink anything the night before her surgery, because we need her stomach to me empty." The doctor said to us.
"Don't worry doctor we will make sure she doesn't eat or drink anything next week." I said to him.
"Thanks, Jake!" The doctor said to me.
"So, I'll be right back." The doctor said to us as he left the room.
As the doctor came back with Izzy's results, he started to explain.
"Okay so Izzy has severe tonsillitis and her surgery next week will be a small procedure.
"Well she'll be staying overnight?" I asked him.
"Yes, she will be staying overnight." the doctor said to us.
"Okay thank you!" I said to o the doctor.
"No problem." The doctor said to me.
"Can I talk to you guys privately?" The doctor access as we both nodded our heads.
"Will be back Izzy!" I said to her.
"What will we do if she stopped breathing again?" Cubby asked the doctor.
" Well, well I am going to give you guys a mask with a machine that you can put on her to help with the breathing. I'm also going to give you guys a baby monitor I know it sounds crazy, but if you guys aren't there, this will help for you guys to listen to her sleep." The doctor said to us as he gave us the bag that had the mask with the monitor, and the baby monitor as well.
As we came back into the room, Izzy was on her phone.
"Okay we're back!" I said to her and she put her phone away.
"Jake, what's in the bag?" Izzy ask me.
"Oh oh, just some groceries that I forgot to pick up." I said to her.
"May I see them?" Izzy asked me.
"No, because they're my blackcurrant bottles." I said to her.
"Oh okay!" Izzy said to me.
"Okay so if there isn't any other questions, I will see the three of you back here next week for your surgery Izzy." The doctor said to us as he left.
" Thank you again!" We always said to the doctor.
"You're welcome!" The doctor said to us.
As we all left the hospital, we finally got to go home.
As Cubby and I arrived to our bedroom, we placed the baby monitor inside of cookie jar, so she doesn't see it. the reason why I left the bag that had the mask and monitor in there was because I wasn't going to take it out until Izzy was asleep.
So I placed in the bag under my bed until it was time to place it on Izzy. So for the rest of the day, cubby and I went into the living room to watch TV with Izzy.
