I was informed my two year old son has sleep apnea and requires surgery. During his sleep, he stops breathing for several seconds. This worries me! What herbs can he take so he can have a normal sleep?

Herbs can only assist! They are not the solution! I would recommend that he doesn't sleep on a pillow. He needs a bed that allows his body to slant, so his head will be lower than his feet. This way, oxygen can rush to his brain. Please read the "Sleep Apnea" article. Make sure you get a guarantee that surgery will solve the problem. Surgery is always a big risk.
