Dakota has Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The doctor said we need to have his tonsils and adenoids removed. I am really sick to my stomach because I was hoping for a non surgical answer. But I know that it is a fairly routine procedure. Dennis and I are going to talk about it and the doctor's office will call us next week to schedule the appointment. The timing for the surgery is also something Dennis and I will have to discuss with the upcoming birth of a baby, we need to really analyze when we schedule this surgery so that we can devote the following 7-10 days post op to Dakota and making it as easy on him as possible. The post surgery will be pretty miserable for him because he lacks the ability to understand what is going on, and why his mommy can't make it stop hurting. Here is the best article I have found on his sleep disorder, and I highlighted the symptoms that Dakota has, and any notes I made)
Also if anyone has any experience with this disorder or the surgery in someone as young as Dakota, please let me know your opinion, and any information you have to share. Thank you all for your prayers.
