Callie had her Sleep study last night. She did amazingly well. I was so proud of her!
We checked into St. Joesph hospital last night at 6pm. We meet the Tech (Tami) right away. She was amazing. She did such a great job getting Callie hooked up, working with us all night and explaining everything to us. I hope if we ever have to do this again we can request her. I cannot say enough great things about her. She made the experience so much better.
With in the first hour of Callie sleeping she had 109 apnea episodes. (That was not a typo). I could not believe it when I heard it. The good news is it is mainly obstructive, which can hopefully be fixed. At some point Callie will need to have her tonsils and adenoids removed just like big brother Zak. She was fitted for a bi pap (face mask that will help her breath during sleep). We hope to get this in the next couple of days. This brought tears to our eyes.. we are finally getting answers and help for our baby girl.
During the night she did get Zak's cold. She spiked a fever and nasty cough with wheezing. The doctor sent us home on oral steroids so hopefully that will do the trick. She has been doing good, however she is now on constant oxygen. I pray she gets better quickly.
We go back to the doctor for her pre-opp next Monday. If she is not better she will not be having her ear tube surgery. We hope to all get some more answers on all the scans at that time.
Thank you everyone for all of your support. We always appreciate the wonderful e-mails and comments of prayers and "think of you". We have such a wonderful support around us or Family, Friends, Nurses and Doctors. We are very grateful to have the support through all of this testing.
