My boy
Well...Tucker of course is always sick. He already had tubes when he was 10 months. Well...when we went to the doctor in January for his 18 month check up, the doctor put him on zyrtex daily for allergies. He said if that did not improve how Tuck is always sick (coughing, snotty, congested) that we might need to see an allergist. No good changes have happened so I have already been dreading dealing with that. Well...about a month and a half ago...Tucker started snoring. I mean really snoring-he sounds like an adult man! Sometimes he even has the half snore...half whistle like you see on cartoons. He wakes up from his snoring with coughing and gagging. He is so tired in the mornings and they tell me at day care he also snores very bad and has had a few gagging/coughing type fits and he throws up a little. He has also had a big attitude change in the past week. Tucker does not snuggle...he does not sit still. He has only wanted me and his blankie to hold him a lot lately which tells me that he does not feel well. Well...of course I start researching the snoring anf find just what i suspect...it is probably sleep apnea caused by his adenoids being out of whack. I had always suspected that he might have problems eventually with this because of his allergies. I have also noticed that his tonsils are HUGE. He has never had a problem with tonsilitis or anything but in the past two weeks...his tonsils are so big they are almost touching. So needless to say, we are heading to the doctor today. If we end up back at the ENT, then we will deal with that when it comes. I just am so ready for summer so I can be home with Tucker everyday!
