Southpaw son,
My son, now 8, had to have his tonsils and adenoids removed because of sleep apnea. Not only did it wreak havoc on his sleep, but the resulting loss of rack-time caused severe behavioral problems. Once the tonsils and adenoids were gone, he started sleeping through the night and his behavior improved tremendously.
Sleep Disorder Centers are a true blessing!
Thanks for the kind words. You are lucky someone picked up on your childs sleep. Too often this is missed and the behavior is misdiagnosed as ADD when it is simply a tired child that cant sleep. Usually the tonsils and adenoids are the cause. Kids should not be snoring unless they have a cold.
Some kids have tonsils so large that they literally seal up the airway when the child dozes off to sleep.
These kids act out, are hyper, cant focus due to their sleep deprivation.
Glad to hear it worked out for you.
