Last night we went to St. John's Hospital to meet with Dr. Clary who is Joey's ENT doctor. He looked over Joey's sleep study and said he definitely has sleep apnea. He said Joey stopped breathing 55 times over the course of the night. Dr. Clary said this was not alarming but it is concerning. So after talking with Dr. Clary about the other symptoms Joey has and after the doctor looked over Joey, he said he would definitely recommend a tonsillectomy as well as getting his adnoids removed. He said it would be alot easier with him being so young than it would be as he got older.
After giving it some thought, Chris and I felt it was in the best interest for Joey to go ahead with the surgery. We called the doctor's office back and scheduled the surgery for April 19 at St. John's Hospital. Hopefully this will be enough to help his sleep apnea and he won't have to do any additional treatments.
