My son is scheduled to have his tonsils and adenoids out on Tuesday.

My oldest son had his out a few years ago but he definately needed it done. He had throat infections all the time, snored very loudly and stopped breathing. My son who is getting them out on Tuesday never gets sick and doesn't snore BUT he stops breathing many times a night. ENT thinks he needs his tonsils and adenoids out.

Tonight I'm feeling really unsure. The only problem is he stops breathing, like holds his breath all the time during the night and he does wake up tired most days. Does anyone knoow if removing his tonsils and adenoids will stop this breath holding.

I am feeling so nervous and anxious at the moment. I feel like a terrible mother. Does he REALLY need this done. I only have 24 hours.
