Second Oppinion!

I took Caleb to the ENT last week to see what she thought could be wrong with him. I wanted to know if she thought we should wait for a sleep study or if it was most likely sleep apnea that didnt have to wait for such a miserable study! She thought it would be very unnecessary to suffer until February for the sleep study. With our family history (which she added those girls had huge adnoids! How could they even breathe!) and the fact that Scott and I have seen sleep apnea 2 times already she figured we knew better than anyone else (that is scary). I wish I had as much belief in us as she does! We have also had such amazing results from both of their surgeries. Anyway, she left it up to us but definitely believed that removing the adnoids would get us sleep at night and get him off of his evening inhalants. She said his tonsils are actually small (that gave us so much relief) and should never need to come out for sleep apnea. Getting the adnoids out wont be much fun for a few days but it is not nearly as hard a recovery as the tonsils. Bekah had a hard time from having only the adnoids removed but she has a hard time recovering from anything such as an ambilical cord that had to be burned off at 16 weeks old!!! Gross!!!! So we are counting down the days until Dec 29th! I hate surgery but I do love the results!! We will keep the sleep study scheduled in case the surgery isnt the answer and we are still having trouble, but hopefully we will not have to put that poor boy through that! Yes I do believe a sleep study would be far worse than a quick surgery! Have you ever seen pictures of kids in their sleep study? Pretty rough! But seriously, we have been in constant prayer since 8 months old praying what could be causing such screaming and both Scott and I feel complete peace with this decision. Believe me after 5 surgeries already on the girls it was not easy to come to conclusion that we needed to do it again, but on our "little man."
