The point of me sharing this is to say…DON’T settle mommas when you KNOW something ain’t right with your child👏🏽👏🏽 KUDOS to momma🎉
I sometimes get push back about T&A surgery in children that snore and have obstructive sleep apnea. While we do prefer to reserve surgery as the last option, clearly this video shows a child that is suffering from airway obstruction. Tonsil and most likely adenoid surgery was done and was successful. This child’s health will improve.
Signs and symptoms of OSA in children:
1. Snoring
2. Mouth breathing
3. Noisy breathing
4. Drooling
5. Restless sleep
6. Awakening tired
7. Falling asleep easily during the day
8. Poor behavior
9. Decline in grades
10. Bedwetting
If this video resonates with you and/or your child sounds or sleeps like this, go see an ENT specialist asap👍🏾
I hope this was helpful. Let me know your thoughts in the comments❤️

DO YOU HAVE SLEEP APNEA? Many of my patients have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and I get really disappointed when they tell me they don’t wear CPAP at night. Many people don’t realize the dangers of untreated OSA:
1. Daytime fatigue.
2. High blood pressure
3. Heart attack
4. Stroke
5. Abnormal heartbeats, such as atrial fibrillation.
6. Type 2 diabetes
7. Metabolic syndrome
8. Liver problems. People with sleep apnea are more likely to have abnormal results on liver function tests, and their livers are more likely to show signs of scarring (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease)
9. Sleep-deprived partners
Loud snoring can indicate a potentially serious problem, but not everyone who has sleep apnea snores. Talk to your doctor if you have signs or symptoms of sleep apnea. Ask your doctor about any sleep problem that leaves you fatigued, sleepy and irritable.
Also, let me know what you think of these new @Anwu scrubs I just got!

sleep apnea and knowing you have life with a cpap machine!
I remember my first night with a cpap machine.
the anxiety, the expectations, the thought of having it for life.
so many thoughts racing in my head. the biggest one was certainly 'is this going to change my life'
nearly 2 years on and I wouldn't be without cpap
