Thanks, all!

I will check his temp on mornings he looks pale, that's a good idea, Cara. I doubt he's hypothyroid, though, because he simply doesn't gain weight really. (He weighed a whopping 47 lbs today--he's 9.)

His hematocrit was good, thankfully. So, no anemia and we're guessing it's hypoglycemia that's causing the paleness. Our plan is to offer him food if he looks pale in the morning and for him to pay attention to how he feels and ask for food if he feels bad at all. I also just encouraged him to eat more total food to put on some fat stores.

She said his tonsils look good and she doesn't think he has sleep apnea based on my report (in that I often sleep with him when we travel and I've not noticed anything but occasional snorting, and very occasional minor gasping--no actual pauses in breathing).
