Sage's First Surgery

In the process of registering Sage for preschool, we have had dentist appointments, multiple doctor appointments, and even a surgery!  During Sage's preschool physical with his pediatrician, we shared our concern about his extremely loud snoring and difficulty breathing while sleeping.  The pediatrician referred us to an ENT who recommended Sage have his tonsils and adenoids removed.  The ENT referred us to St. Luke's for a sleep study.  The sleep study showed Sage has moderate, obstructive sleep apnea and...should have his tonsils and adenoids removed. 

In between those doctor appointments, Sage also visited the dentist who recommended...he have his tonsils and adenoids removed.  Long story short, the sleep apnea was causing all kinds of problems including malformation of Sage's mouth! 

 So, just today, Sage had his tonsils and adenoids removed.  The surgery went well and he is recovering with bowls of ice cream, giant popsicles, and lots of rest! 

What a week!  Actually 8 days of misery.  Poor Sage!  That was no fun!  Recovery was miserable for Sage, he didn't want to eat or drink and definitely didn't want to take the yucky medicine.  Finally, on day 6, we had smiles and a request for grilled cheese.  Hooray!
