Hi Karen:

I'm right behind you. Xiomara sailed through the tube insertion today -- she's had 7 ear infections in 5 months and a 10 decibel loss of hearing in each ear. Her tonsils are huge and she sounds like a motor boat when she's sleeping. I don't think she has sleep apnea yet.

The ENT and her pediatrician said she's too young to have her tonsils out. Isn't Alex the same age as Xiomy?

I loved the advice you got on the prior page (can't remember the poster's name, she sounded like a medical professional).

I don't have any words of wisdom for you, only support. I know it will be tough on both of you. I also know you're strong and you and Alex will get through this together.

Best,
