Hello Lauren,
Our son had a distraction when he was 3 weeks old. But now at the age of 6 he still has severe obstructive sleep apnea. His addenoids and tonsils has been removed also. It did make things worse. To do a second distraction is not an option. He's on a c-pap while he's a sleep. The other solution for him would be a trach.
Hope the tonsillectiomy is the solution for your daughter.
Best regards
Tanja

: Hi everyone! I was wondering if any families
: had children with PRS that did not have a

: wks but said that if she is still
: obstructing that we need to see an
