04/14/10 Sleep Study Three

Today was my first day back visiting with Eli after being sick. Patricia and I decided it would be better if I stayed away for a few days while I recovered from my cold. I sure have missed the little guy. We snuggled from the time I got off work until they were ready to start hooking him up to the electrodes for the sleep study.

After our last care conference the pulmonary team decided they'd like to do another sleep study but this time using the new nasal pillows we brought in for Eli. Like the other two sleep studies we've had the process is very labor intensive. The technician was in the room getting set up around 7:00pm and by 9:00pm they were ready to start. I left the hospital shortly after the 9:00pm feeding so I didn't get to stay for the sleep study this time around. I've lived through two of them so far and it's a marathon event. We'll have to wait to see what the results are tomorrow but we're hoping the new mask will help out.
