William was born with 2 tooth buds that really confused the doctors. Actually, several dentists too... A few days after his birth, a tooth began to emerge from one of these floppy little pieces of skin where his bottom front teeth would be. It was decided that it had to be removed so I took my 2 month old, probably 7 lb baby to the recommended Pediatric Dentist. After they 'removed' his tooth bud and brought me my screaming baby, I noted funny breathing. They noted it too and decided to call 911. Away we went to the ER and it was determined that he had developed aspiration pneumonia. We were taken from Clear Lake RMC to TCH again via the Kangaroo Kare where we enjoyed Valentine's Day on the Pediatric floor. William stayed a few days and was given a sleep study. They decided he had apnea and sent us home with oxygen for during naps and nighttime.
He did NOT like the mask at all!
Why didn't they look at his adenoids or suggest removing them and/or tonsils at this time??!! More on this later...
