We have been very busy these last few weeks with Doctor's and Dentist visits. Joey went in to the Dentist for a check up and cleaning, and the dentist found something in his x-ray. He asked if Joey breathes more through his mouth than his nose. I said yes, due to his allergies. Well the Dentist said to get him to an ear, nose & throat doctor, because he has a blockage in his nasal passage. After seeing the specialist at Kaiser, and having some x-rays again, he was right! Joey needs his Adenoids removed. We have expressed this problem to his doctor for quite some time, and she always said "your son has allergies" He may have, but removing his adenoids will help him breathe better, and he probably won't snore anymore, and will be able to sleep more restfully. Joey & I agree, we are switching our sons doctor. He is scheduled for surgery on September 15th, possibly the 18th of this month, if someone cancels. The specialist said it is about a 15-20 minute surgery, and he should go home the same day, but he has to be put under. I will keep everyone posted. Say lots of prayers.
