Guest guest Posted September 21, 2000 Report Share Posted September 21, 2000 Belinda- We went through the exact same thing that you're going through! At 1 yr old, my son started to develop what looked like a cold/allergies. His nose was all stuffed up, he was snoring, he couldn't eat very well and was miserable. Since we live in a very allergy-prone part of the country we tested and tested. Part of this reason is because we had an HMO and they wouldn't just refer us to a specialist until we did all this. Finally, at his 2 yr check, he had gone from the 90% in weight to 20%!! I freaked and demanded that our ped refer him to a surgeon for a consultation right away! Sure enough, it was his adnoids and tonsils. He had surgery just a couple weeks after that (OH, btw... he had developed sleep apnea by that time too) The first night after the surgery was the worst (he was only 2) but he recovered quickly after that. It cured him completely!! No more red, stuffy nose. No more sleep apnea. He could eat again! I sure wish that we had been able to have the surgery much earlier! Good luck to you~ S.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2000 Report Share Posted September 22, 2000 Belinda, My oldest son had his t and a a few years ago. It seemed to help him out a lot with the issues he was having. He was constantly sick and getting strep over and over. We had no problems scheduling as you are having though. What info are you looking for specifically? I am glad to put in my .02.
