Sleep Study

( no mom, I did not sleep good last night.)
Jonas had his first sleep study up at Primary Children's Hospital last night. In trying to figure out what choices we need to make in the near future we need some information. With this sleep study we wanted to see how his bi-pap was helping him and/or if things needed to be tweaked. We went up there at 8 pm and by the time we were done setting everything up it was 10:15. They had told us that only one parent could stay with him, so Whit being the heroic dad stayed the night with him. I went home and returned at 6 am to pick them up. It was a very lonely, too quiet night. I did not enjoy my night alone and apparently Jonas didn't sleep too well himself. I don't blame him, they had all these attachments to his head, cheeks, behind his ears..all the places that I think would make it way uncomfortable to sleep. Whit had to turn him a lot in the night, so needless to say Whit didn't sleep well either. All in all an uneventful event, which we are grateful for, and now we wait to see what the information they gathered means and which direction it can point us to.

They put this stuff in his hair to help the attachments stick and it's pretty much like crisco/glue stick/maybe will come out with Dawn dish soap kind of stuff. Nasty..wish us luck getting that out of his hair.

I forgot my camera that night and I missed all the probes sticking out of his head that morning. They were all very eager to get out of there. So just use your imaginations I guess.

Tabitha has never had a sleep study either. Taleah had one and that was enough for us. We have had 02 and C02 overnight studies with vitals monitored and that did everything I needed. I remember thinking the same thing, how in the world are they supposed to sleep like that!?!
