Listen Later

Emma is joined by Craig Baker for a follow up interview.  

Together they discuss: 

* Craig briefly recaps his long journey to diagnosis with sleep apnea. 

* The surgeries recommended for him by an ENT/Otolaryngology Surgeon - tonsillectomy and septoplasty. 

* Paying to have the procedures privately to avoid a long wait time. 

* Emma and Craig discuss their experiences of tonsillectomy as adults versus the experience of children with the same procedure. 

* Craig's follow up sleep study showing his AHI had dropped and he no longer needed to use a CPAP.
