Making Mama Proud

It's never too early to start good oral hygiene practices, especially when two more teeth have made their way in! It's actually almost scary how intently he's brushing...

Zzzzzzz

Aaron had a sleep study conducted at the end of April to try and figure out why he's been needing oxygen while asleep. It was actually done in a two-room hotel suite, which was pretty cool. Clayton had one room all to himself while I slept in bed with Aaron. He pretty much only got 4 hours of solid sleep. The rest of the time he was pulling the cannula out of his nose and wrestling with the techs as they tried to put it back on. But, 4 hours was plenty for them to analyze.

Last Tuesday we saw his pediatric pulmonologist and were able to read the report from the study. Initially, his doctors were all concerned about central hypopneas in which the brain isn't sending proper signals to breath deep enough or at all. But, the study showed that Aaron had obstructive hypopneas! So, there is nothing wrong with the signaling, there's just something there that is blocking his air. All I could think was, "Thank you, God!" When faced with two mountains to climb, this one seems way more manageable! So, we are off to see the ENT in June and hopefully be rid of the stupid pulse ox machine that beeps incessantly through the night!

Oh, and they weighed and measured him. My little snuggle bug is 19lb 10.8oz and 28.5in long!
