After 2 years of snoring Elliot did a sleep study that confirmed severe sleep apnea. They did a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy the next day. He no longer snores and seems to be doing much better now that he can get into a normal sleep pattern. It has been 2 weeks since the surgery (surgery date: 9/25/09).
My 18-month old also is suffering from sleep apnea. We are going in for surgery soon. I have to say, I am terrified of her going into surgery, but reading the testimonies of so many other parents who have come through the procedure helps a lot. I can't wait for the day I can stop laying awake at night listening to her struggle to breathe.

awwwww... What a sweetie!!! My son is getting this done in Jan and I CANNOT wait! He's 7 and I've been fighting this to get done all his life. He's always "snored like a truck driver". I've been to 2 ENT's and they are so causious now they dont want to over perform these surgeries. Finally I found one that said (after showing her video I took that looked exactly like yours) "no way, he's getting them out ASAP"

@Rreynaertt I know of 2 little girls who's names are Elliot, so it may not have been as obvious as one thinks. Both sexes are named all kinds of names these days. Just saying.... :)
