He came through the surgery like a champ. The only difference this time was he had a tube down his throat and IV. Surgeon said adenoids were big and the removal of those along with the new tubes should make a significant difference.
Malka - we have consulted with a specialist also and so far same diagnosis. We will re-consult if this continues. We dont' have a Children's Hospital in Montgomery, but there is one of the top ones in the nation in Birmingham, only about an hour away. I feel much more confident in this surgeon and he is not the same one who did the first two surgeries.
Thanks for all your kind words/thoughts/prayers. I am one tired mommy - we've been up since 3:00 because he coldn't sleep. Grandma went with me so hubby could sleep in.
