On Friday, July 29, 2011, Rowen & I had to spend the night at Childrens Hospital in Orange County for a scheduled sleep study. The doctor was concerned about his irregular breathing and drop in oxygen saturation (this is why he failed the car seat test at the hospital) - so they wanted to monitor him while he was sleeping. It was a very long night - with very little sleep - especially since we had to share a room with another little one who cried almost all night. : (
Rowen seemed to do fine - even though he really hated all of the wires attached to him. I think he was more irritated about the wires than anything else. Anyway, they weighed him while we were there and he now weighs 10 lbs. 6 oz. He is really getting to be a BIG BOY!
so what are the results? what do they think is wrong? and did they give you anything to do to help him?

ReplyDeleteWe went to the pulmonologist yesterday and the results were...he PASSED the sleep test! Woohoo!! The doctor just said some babies need a little help with regulating their breathing. We are giving him caffeine and Zantac - caffeine to regulate the breathing and the Zantac to help with the spit up caused by the caffeine. His breathing is definitely getting better - although he has to stay hooked up to the sleep monitor at home until the end of September.
