My 5 year old son is scheduled to have his tonsils and adnoids removed in a few weeks. The main reason we have pursued this is due to major sleep problems that he is having. He snores loudly and frequently wakes at night. He is very sleepy in the day and we thought this was the best way to go before he starts kindergarden. I have suddenly become apprehensive about the surgery and was wondering if there were any alternatives that might help with his sleep disturbances instead of removing his tonsils. Thank you!
