Well the status of Arlin seeing Dr. Krover today is that he is a HUGE candidate for having surgery to have his adenoids, tonsils and part of his tongue (back part) out. Dr. Krover's exact words were it looks like he has 3 sets of tonsils, that's how big they are. That makes his airway small. To have the surgery he will have a better time breathing and sleeping. If he chooses not to have the surgery Dr. Korver said he will be cutting his life short because it's not good for your body to stop breathing all the time.
So now we will have the sleep study test done on Dec. 12 and the reports will get sent to Dr. Korver and we will go from there.
Will keep you posted as I know more.
