For Mums Or Dad Who’s Child Suffer From Obstructive Sleep Apnea?? Or Had An Adenotonsillectomy???

I was just wondering if your child was constantly exhausted??
My eldest 2yo boy, has had OSA since he was born, but it has recently gotten really bad. He is constantly grumpy and tired. He is in bed at 7pm and wakes as much as every 20 minutes. He is having his tonsils and adenoids out next month.
How did you cope???
I am physically and mentally drain most days, as I over worry about him stopping breathing. I know the doctor have all told me this is normal, but he is my baby (and a real mummies boy) and I hate seeing it.
How was your child after the adenotonsillectomy??
Did he/she recover well???
Any advice would be great!!! My man & I would appreciate it!!
Thanks xxxx

Most kids do very well after having their tonsils removed and in many cases this immediately resolves the OSA. I know it’s scary and very tiring. Many adults can’t cope with this and to have a child who does not understand and is just learning to express himself is extremely difficult.
Personally, I’d want the surgery done ASAP. Sooner the better. I’m assuming the’ve done sleep studies on him and/or apnea monitor as well as oxygen saturation monitoring to make sure he’s getting enough O2 to his brain during these episodes.
