The doctor will see you now

I just spoke with the doctor. They are going to do the surgery to remove his tonsils and adnoids on Tuesday. She said this may or may not help his apnea because Colton has both obstructive sleep apnea and is having central pauses. This is where the brain doesn't tell the body to breath. It may or may not have something to do with his stroke. They don't know. He will do another sleep study a couple of weeks after surgery and if he is still suffering from apnea episodes we will see more specialists. She said to just have him sleep with us and to wake him up throughout the night. I am really scared and frustrated but the truth is that we have no other choice but to move forward with everything. There is nothing I can do. We are just really lucky that he has made it this far and that by another miracle he has continued to breath for the last two years. They said he has been suffering from this for a long time and that his chances of dying from just leaving it is 100 times higher. I know people keep telling me how so and so had their tonsils out so many years ago and were fine but if it was just getting his tonsils out than I wouldn't be as scared..the problem is the apnea. Please keep him in your prayers!!
