As many of you know Chris had a sleep study a couple of months ago. We finally got the results. He has "obstructed sleep apna" Today we saw the Ears, Nose, and Throat specialist. He was surprised that with Chris's medical history that no one had checked his tonsils and adenoids. They are huge. He has always struggled to breath since he was born. When he was really little we were told he had a narrow breathing tube. He fought asthma, and phenomena when he was little. He is always congested all the time. Even in the office today he was struggling to breath well. We have thought for a long time that if he could breathe better then he would be able to sleep with out struggling to breath. And if he sleeps than maybe his behavior is also affected by all of this. God is the only one that knows that answer as yet.
He has been scheduled to have surgery on Nov 29. They are going to remove both the tonsils and the adenoids. They were going to do it on the 15th but he didn't want to miss turkey dinner. So we will do it the week after Thanksgiving. Smart Kid!!!!!!
I feel really good about this, it feels like we are finally moving in a good direction. We pray that this helps him a lot.
Thanks ahead of time for the prayers for Chris and the surgery.
