My 11 Year Old had a Sleep Study

So because she has been so tired all the time and has had her fair share of being sick, and just generally run down, her doctor decided to order a sleep study. He wants to rule out sleep apnea.

This was scheduled for Friday evening. Her grandmother, her sister, myself, and sigh...her father went with her. We could all go in with her, but only one adult could stay, so, she said if her dad could make it, she wanted him to. Didn't know what to feel about that, but it's about what she wants.

We start the evening off going to dinner at a local buffet. Afterwards we still had some time to kill so we went to a pet store...and finally decided to go and wait for the clinic doors to open. Upon being checked in we were ushered to a room where there was a select comfort bed. Which was awesome. (I dozed off twice before they came in to hook her all up...lol) Then in came all the wires and things.. wow.. I was astounded. See..my doctor had me do what we call the poor man's sleep study. Pulse oximeter overnight, then a trial with the Cpap which I still have. I have apnea.

Anyway, I didn't ahve my digicam with me so I took some pics with my cell...not the best quality..but you get the idea. So I will post them. There are before and after pics...and a couple of her sister in there..

Kinda scared me to see her like that with all that stuff on her...I don't know how she slept...not altogether well I know...she did get sick in the middle of the night. I imagine that had to do with some of the food she ate and her nerves being somewhere she wasn't used to.

Her sister acts like she doesn't like her sister most of the time, but I know better. The next morning about 6 I went in thier bedroom to check on her, she was awake. I asked her what was wrong..she said, "I miss my sissy" AWWWW

Greg got me a big cuddly teddy bear with a heart on it that says I love you on it for V-day. We got the kids a teddy bear a piece for it...and Greg took the girls and I out for dinner. I have a pic to show of that too. Again not the best quality...but not the point. lol

Ok, I am going to close for now....hope you enjoyed the pics...lol
