Carli's sleep study

Carli and I drove over to Ann Arbor for her sleep study test. It snowed until we hit Battle Creek and then the rest of the trip was smooth sailing. We check in at 7:30 pm for the night. They had a crib for her and a hospital bed for me. It took two people to get her all set up. They must have put 40 electrodes, wires etc all over the body, head, legs and arms. She did much better with it than I expected. She even had to have two tubes up her noes. Poor little kid!  They put the cap on so she couldn't get to the electrodes. It was a rough night sleep for both of us. Sleeping on a hospital bed isn't very comfortable even when you aren't sick.!!!!Plus I guess the sensor in her noes kept going off because of her runny noes, so they had to keep coming into the check it. We were done a little after 6am. It took a while to get her all unhooked too. At 8:15 we had her pre op for her tubes next week and meet with anesthesia. We headed home around 10:00. It was happy to get home! We will find out in a few weeks what the results are and hopefully she will get released from her monitor.
