[quote=Anonymous]My child got their tonsils and adenoids out at 5. They were having 4 episodes of sleep apnea an hour and there was concern about lack of growth due to lack of sleep. One thing that hasn’t yet been mentioned but was an amazing was the change in his speech. Everyone agreed it was so much easier to understand him. Which in turn made school and peer relationships easier. Interestingly, he was always forming the sounds correctly (in fact, he was tested for speech several times). The large tonsils made it impossible for him to not sound garbled and the only thing to fix it was getting it removed. It was changed the way others perceived him and that is probably the best (or most obvious) result from the surgery. (He did sleep better too).[/quote]
