This is the "real world" with our multigenerationals
MEEI and Dr. Christopher Hartnick were featured last night on WCVB's Channel 5 News in a story about a procedure that helps children with breathing problems. Called a tonsillotomy, this surgery reduces the size of swollen tonsils without removing all of the tonsils. In return a tonsillotomy can help children breathe easier and recover faster. The piece was syndicated and shown across the country in areas such as Denver, Colo., Phoenix, Ariz., Pittsburg, Pa., San Antonio, Texas, and San Diego, Calif.

I missed that news report. Thank you for reporting this innovative procedure. How worrisome for parents to know that their children suffer from sleep apnea. Kudos to Dr. Hartnick!
That is great to know since I have nine nieces and nephews. Of course a big Bowl of Ice cream still comes with the removal or reduction in tonsils (Smile).
Leave it to Dr. Hartnick to come up with a new and innovative way to reduce the sleep apnea problems within this group of children. I would imagine the risk of post-op bleeding would also be reduced. Double kudo's to him! Thank you for sharing what you do for these children everyday, you need to be on TV too! :)
