Hmmm....

Well we went for the consult to schedule surgery to take out Finnemore's tonsils and adenoids. I was pretty aggrevated we had to drive back up there just to pay $30 more dollars and for them to put us on the schedule. The pulmanologist read the sleep study said they needed to come out...can't we just drive up once and do the surgery!!!!
WELL I guess they were right the ENT needed to check him out before we just showed up for surgery. FINN HAS NO TONSILS NOR ADENOIDS! His tonsils may not have started growing yet sometimes that happens and his adenoids the dr said probably just never grew when he was newborn b/c he was so sick and his body had other things it was busy trying to take care of.
So sounds good, yea but we were hoping this would fix his sleep apnea.
They told us last week a majority of the spells were obstructive apnea but today they said no they were central. Central apnea is caused from brain injuries. When he gets in a deep sleep his brain forgets to breath. I left perplexed that after such an indepth conversation with the pulmanologist he was wrong. So I told the ENT to call the pulmanologist re-discuss the sleep study and call me back.
Dr today said there was a chance they may let us wait 6 months and see if it gets better. Fingers crossed!!!!!! Otherwise he will join in with all those ol' snoring men out there and get himself a Cpap machine. or worst case have to sleep with Oxygen at night.
On a good note we jumped off at 85 and slid into Namedropper and refreshed the wardrobe for spring!!! First time ever I have seen some many cute boy things I had to make choices and leave lots behind. So Moms of Boys, Run Run fast Namedropper has tons of options!
