Sleeping with Apnea...

So, we had our follow up appointment with the ENT from Yale today. He said that Miles' sleep study was one of the worst he has seen in a child so young. He held his breath every 4 minutes, and his brain was awake more than it was asleep, as well as a drop in oxygen levels. To say the least, it is a wonder that he is such a happy child with so little sleep! We are scheduled for an adenoid and tonsillectomy on Feb 29th. He will have to spend the night and spend a week out of school (fun, fun!) but this should correct his sleeping. If not we will look at the possibility that allergies are also playing a factor, but he definitely needs the adenoids and tonsils out. Hopefully this is the last surgery this poor kid will need for a very long time!
