[quote=Anonymous]My 4.5 year old sleeps badly almost every night. She never sleeps at same spot, moving around, grinds teeth & snores sometimes. She is full of energy, but she yawns all the time after 10 hours of sleep early morning almost every day. Someone mentioned to me that she may have sleep apnea, enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids. We just recently took her to do a sleep study, but results won't be back till 2 months after. The sleep study was not a nice experiences (she was scared of many wires on her & she cried in fear), and I am glad that it was over. While waiting for the sleep study results, I am anxious to know what could happen. What happens if they find out that she has sleep apnea, are they going to refer her to see ENT to check tonsils & adenoids? What happens that if they don't find her having sleep apnea, what would they do/recommend? I just google tonsils and adenoids surgery, and it scares me a lot with anesthesia, after-surgery pain & recovery, possibly side effects etc.. Anyone has kids been there or done that before? Good results or no results? And, how's post-surgery pain & recovery? [/quote]
