We saw the sleep specialist

Oh how I am grateful for prayer and modern medicine. We originally had an appointment March 5, but I called yesterday to see about insurances because of obamacare and they had a cancellation for today! Dan and I were both extremely impressed with the sleep specialist. He spent over an hour discussing sleep issues with us and answering questions and examining Cameron.
The verdict:
After listening and asking some questions, he said that he never gaurantees he's 100% right before testing, but that it is most likely- 85% chance Cameron has sleep apnea. He believes this because:
- Cameron frequently wakes up screaming, but will fall right back asleep if he is held on your shoulder/upright.
- Cameron gasps for air a lot in his sleep and gurgles- we thought it was reflux but not likely.
- Cameron lightly snores sometimes
- Cameron is cranky and drowsy all day
- Family history of sleep apnea
- When he examined Cameron, he found that Cameron has almost no airway- his tonsils are huge and his oxygen level was slightly low.
The solution:
We are getting set up to do a formal sleep study. When we have the results back, we will see the doctor again and go over them. If the sleep apnea is confirmed, he will get scheduled for surgery to have his tonsils and adenoids removed to open his airway, then we will let him recover and retry sleep training.
If the results surprise the doctor and us, we will make sure that there isn't another medical reason, and proceed with behavioral therapy for insomnia.
The specialist is pretty sure it will be sleep apnea though. I am so grateful to have some answers and to be getting something done about this.
I just knew that something wasn't quite right!
