    Thanks Ree. From my research a child that stops breathing in their sleep has sleep apnea and adenoid removal stops it. I hope so. I will be devasted if I put him through the op and he still stops breathing after it. He has never had an ear infection or tonsilitis so I am so very unsure if I am doing the right thing. I have no idea how I can reassure myself that i have made the right decision. If he was getting sick I would be fine with it but because he is a healthy little boy. I'm just not sure.

    what i noticed with my lil girl is for some reason it got worse and worse and in the week before her op was real bad. Also my lil girl had the op and was home within 24hrs they will most likely get you to buy painstop which helped heaps and hasnt had a problem since

    Thanks Ree. Op is now all over thank goodness and now the recovery. They had to sedate him this morning after the op because he was so upset. When he woke up from this he was much better. He is eating so much. I didn't think he would but he is eating whatever he can get his hands on and drinking heaps. Hopefully tomorrow will be just as good. May not be though when the sedative is completely worn off. My husband is staying with him tonight because we have a 16 month at home. He comes home tomorrow morning.

    Thank for all your help Ree.

    Glad i could help and glad to hear he was doing good. Thought about you and DS yesterday hoping all was going well Did you or DH notice a difference in his snoring/breathing overnight. Did they say he needed to be sedated because of the op or the anesthetic it is scary but worth it. sorry for all the Questions My kiddies arent allowed softdrink so when they offered DD lemonade she was tthirsty ALL the time little smartie.
