Tonsil-/Adnoidectomy

Dominic is having his tonsils and adnoids removed on Wednesday. He will also have tubes put in his ears. The poor guy can't breathe or hear so hopefully this will fix the situation. He has pretty bad sleep apnea at night and I worry about it's affecting his learning. How can u do well in school when you are exhausted? He also failed a hearing exam. Further testing showed his ear drums weren't even moving due to all the fluid in his head. Poor kid!

So I'm hoping this will really help him. A few adults I have mentioned this to have told me that this is something better to do now rather then wait. Not only because kids do better but because we are helping fix some serious issues before they get pushed by the way side. I hope they're right.

By the way, I had my tonsils out in the 2nd grade.
