ENT Appointments All Around

Friday the boys both had ENT apppointments. They've both had their tonsils and adenoids out but have started having issues with snoring at night again, especially Little Man. He could bring the house down lol. I was a little concerned about this appointment as they had to see a general ENT, not a pediatric one which I highly prefer. Adults just don't have the issues Beans has to be honest. After waiting 45 minutes past the appointment time in the waiting room, with Beans sleeping in my arms (very unusual, and 50 pounds gets heavy!), they called back Beans. I told the nurse that she should have Little Man's paperwork too. No, she said. They're going to put him in a different room. Um, what!?! You're going to put a nine year old in a room by himself? Especially an autistic one? While I was tempted to let Little Man see how quickly he could dissemble the room so they could see why this was a horrible idea, I told them bluntly that wouldn't work, they both had to be together. Never had this issue before at any specialist we've ever been to.

Anyways, neither has an obvious anatomical reason for the snoring. Beans has a stub of scar tissue on one side, but not big enough to cause issues. He's ordered sleep studies to check for sleep apnea in both of them. If they come back normal, no big deal, they're just noisy sleepers. If there's apnea we'll go from there. He mentioned possibly being able to do both the same night. I'm hoping as it will make it easier for me, and I won't have to find someone to watch alternating boys on two nights. They said it'll take a month to six weeks to get the appointment then another month to six weeks for results. That's okay, we can handle another wait. :)
