"My daughter has been waiting for 23 weeks!"

My daughter Ellie was referred for an urgent tonsillectomy on 8th June 2017. We were initially told it was a 13 week waiting time, this then changed to 20 weeks and now 26 weeks. How long does a 6 year old have to wait for an urgent operation. She was referred due to having persistent low lymphocyte count and enlarged lymph nodes in her neck. The consultant at AGH is hopeful that once her tonsils have been removed her blood will return to normal and her lymph nodes will go down. As a result of having a low white cell count, she is persistently weak, poorly and it is affecting her both physically and emotionally.
