Time for the TUBES again and take out those adenoids!
The second part was a surprise to me. He asked me a few questions such as, "Does Devin snore?" (Yes) And observed his heavy open mouthed breathing and suggested that most likely his adenoids are enlarged and recommended taking them out. He thinks that this will improve Devin's ear drainage, breathing (different from his asthma), and snoring issues.
The great part is that it only adds 10-15 minutes to the surgery and a day to the recovery (so total 25-30 minute surgery and 2 day recovery period- at home). We had his ear plugs/molds made while we were at the office yesterday. Devin chose blue plugs with a blue case (same as I chose for him when he was a baby!).
Surgery: Tuesday Feb 24th

I hope that the tubes and removal of the adenoids really helps him. I'm glad that it still keeps the surgery and the recovery to a minimum.
Yup, what Joanna said! I agree, I hope that the surgery helps, and that it's not too much additional time and recovery.
I am glad you have answers. My daughter had tubes and adenoids. I bet you will see a world of difference!
Awesome that you have answers now, and a plan. I hope this helps the little guy out!
I am glad that you got answers. I hope he helps him.
Thanks everyone! :)
