Thanks Ladies - nice to get some perspective on what to expect.

DS has had endless Throat infections this winter and is currently on a low dose of AB's for the next 2 months to see if there is any difference with the change of the weather and him being taken out of pre-school.

I had endless throat infections as a child and ended up getting my tonsils and adanoids removed at 19 - bad idea - in all honesty child birth hurt less - but having said that the Paed did say that it is far worse as an adult.

I had some complications with my surgery also hence why they are reluctant to do my son - i think they want to exhaust every avenue prior to doing the procedure and I dare say they can feel my anxiety related to it also - so fingers crossed we can hold out until he's a bit older well at least able to completely understand what is going on.

having said all that my gut feeling is that he will need the surgery sooner rather than later as he is shocking sleeper and suffers from night terrors which can be all related to this situation.

Wish you all the best with the coming surgeries and I'll definitely love to hear how they go.

Good Luck
