S.M.
My daughter is having hers out on September 17th. I am praying that it helps with the temper tantrums in the mornings after the interrupted sleep at night, prying her out of bed with a crow bar, poor concentration, repeated strep and ear infections...sound familiar. Our daughter is lucky enough to have 2 of her pre-K friends going to kindergarten with her, so that should ease the transition a little, but we are more worried about her falling behind in the academics by not having the surgery done, than by missing the 1 1/2-2 weeks of class since she is so tired her concentration is a factor in her learning...Our daughter is so bright, but it does not seem to be showing academically which is a symptom of attention deficit (which is a common symptom of severe sleep apnea). Here's hoping the T&A fixes a lot of problems for her...she is an amazing kid.
Hope this helps.
