The little man had his appt. with the pediatrician this morning. He is healthy and in a growth spurt...as if I didn't know that. Since the beginning of Sept. he has gained another two pounds and grew an inch. So then I commented on the sleep apnea and the doc took one look inside his mouth. Said he was giving us a referral to the ENT specialist. The little man has huge tonsils that have been infected at some point and made them already crypted. Add that to the sleep apnea and we are most likely looking at removal.
And I am happy. I am sure there is a correlation between sleep deprivation and behavior. Not that I expect surgery to cure all that ails him. But I think good sleep will go a long way towards making things better all around.
So far this is going along smoothly and rather quickly. Got to like that. We are suppose to have a call this week to set up an appt. with the ENT specialist. And here is hoping that if he has to have them removed that the surgery is much easier on him than it was on his dad.
