Sleep Study number 2

We just came back from the hospital where Amelia had her second sleep study. First one was when she was just four months old, back in May. It showed some apneas, obstructive and central as well so everybody was curious to see how it improved since the decompression surgery in July. It was her first sleep study after the surgery. So far we know that her oxygen intake improved significantly which is a great news! The study was again - great experience. Amelia was very brave and did not complain very much! Just a little. We got very nice and caring sleep lab technician, Rhonda, actually the one we met during last sleep study, so we felt very confident and comfortable.
Amelia fell asleep even before she got the wires on her head! She did not care that it was a hospital room, new strange place.....
After Rhonda attached all the wires and wrapped her head, we were even able to make her smile (with a little help of her favorite toy :-). As you can notice, I again asked for the "adult" bed so Amelia did not have to sleep alone in that scary crated crib! It made the world of difference!


She briefly woke up few times during the night, but fell asleep with no problems. Anyway, it is so good to be back home!!!!! Now it is time to wait for the results and it takes about 4 weeks! Eternity! I will keep you posted.

  3. So glad to hear it was an uneventful night!! Max had his sleep study at about 5 weeks old and it was so sad...he was so little and covered in all those wires...he could hardly nurse! I am sure we will have to do it again and I am so glad to hear yours went well:-)
