is the story of one family's journey through life with a very special child with Down syndrome and a complicated medical history and how we have learned to DANCE through the tulips.

Sleep Study #5
Pre-sleep study - the calm before the storm.
During sleep study, but ALMOST done.
All done and ready to go home!!! :)
Chloe had her 5th sleep study last night/this morning. She was a REAL trooper. She hated getting the stuff all stuck to her and cried as she lay between my legs in the crib (yes, I was in her crib with her!). It took her a good 2 hours to get settled into a comfortable sleep, but once she was good and asleep she pretty much stayed that way! YAY for Chloe. Last sleep study was NOT so pleasant! She was happy to get it all off this morning and get back to her home, her family and her friends! It'll be 2-3 weeks before we get the results, but this was basically a baseline so we don't expect anything startling. We know she has OSA (obstructive sleep apnea), it's just a matter of the degree now that she's older and bigger (18 lbs, by the way!!!!!). She definitely SEEMS better to us and hasn't been on the CPAP since this summer. Fingers crossed that it stays that way!
