Anyone up for a 'waiting for ENT referral ' support thread?

DD is 2.7 and we're waiting for an appointment regarding sleep apnoea. We've been through it with her brother and so it's frustrating seeing her so tired and miserable when we know she'll probably need her tonsils and adenoids whipped out.

I see there are a couple of similar threads on the go so wondered of anyone fancies joining for a moan festchance to share support and experiences?

Yes I can see that logic, for me the pros would still out weigh the cons. With my dd it wasn't really a tonsill issue but a problem with sleep apnoea, more adenoid related I think.

All parents should be watching what their kids weight/ food intake/ exercise etc anyway.

Absolutely agree, although we were caught out last year. I knew DS was chubby but his BMI was really very high which surprised us. It was dead easy to sort though, we just quietly restricted simple carbs and kept up his activity levels. Wish it was that simple for me!

DD slept 7-6 last night, I cannot wait for that to be more frequent than weekly!
