Sleep study results

Today Serafina had an ENT appointment as a follow up to the sleep study.  The study came back positive, meaning she is having several sleep disturbances per hour including apnea.  The recommendation from the sleep study doctor is to remove her tonsils and adenoids.  The ENT agrees.  

This family is no stranger to surgery.  Leo had surgery when he was just a little guy and Tom has had both knees repaired.  I've had more surgeries than I'd like to count.  But now it's Serafina's turn.  The procedure is out patient and won't happen until after Christmas.  She will need to be out of school for a week and not participate in activities for two weeks.  

The doctor is hopeful that this will help her sleep better and decrease her rate of infections.  I certainly hope so since I know having surgery will be pretty miserable for her (and me.)
