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"

  • thats my name

  • you poor little bugger.. my daughter sound the same as this and she is getting her tonsils removed in 8 weeks.. i can't wait for her to have better quality of sleep..:)

  • @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.... :)

  • you are great parents.. you have given your boy a better life.. be sure.. i understand how hard the decision must have been,.. my husband a grown up and i have been struggling with making it for over a year now..

    your baby looks so peaceful now,.. god bless him for you,

    cheers!

  • My daughter had an adenoidectomy 6 weeks ago (as well as grommets) and her night breathing is Sooo improved, i totally see where you're coming from, she was so quiet after surgery I had 2 poke her 2 make sure she was still breathing she was that quiet. you keep taking good care of your beautiful boy :)
