So I don't usually take pics when Em has a medical thing, but this one took the cake so I had to have a couple. We had the sleep study last night and I think it went well...we will find out in a couple weeks, I guess.
We got there at 8pm and they didn't start hooking her up until 10pm (troubles with the boy in the other room). She was fine with all of it until they put the nasal prongs in her nose, then she lost it. It took me until 11pm to calm her down and get her to go back to sleep.
BUT then at 2:20am, they had to come in and get her to sleep on her back (necessary to make sure readings are the same no matter which way she sleeps) and that woke her up completely so another bottle and then some restraints to keep her from rolling on to her stomach and finally we slept again...only to be woken up at 6:30am to start heading home...after another bottle.
Needless to say, mom didn't get any sleep and Em will likely take a few longer naps today. So thanks for your prayers as at least they said they got pretty good readings. Oh, they will also be able to tell if she is having seizures, or at least that they should order yet another test to watch that specifically.
In other news, K had her 18 month check up and she has grown 3.5 inches since she turned one but only gained one pound. The difference between a full-term baby and a preemie? They just looked at her, said, "She looks very healthy. Does she eat a lot?". M said, "Like a horse.". And her dr just suggested that since she is actually not allergic to milk, we should switch her back to whole milk as it will have the fats that are missing from the almond milk we've been using. We just don't brew them big, but in our world, people just don't seem to get that. Anyway, K's doing great, praise the Lord!
