Capped Sleep Study

Low and behold after my rant about how frustrated we are with Cyler's ENT office staff we get a call from them stating that there was a cancelation for a sleep study but we had to be there by 7pm.  We said ABSOLUTELY!  Otherwise we would have to wait until sometime in February.   We packed up and headed to Orlando, about an hour away.  We were about an hour early so we got to eat at Five Guys...mmmm!  First time there and will definatly go back.  Anyway, we were kindly at the sleep clinic.  We did have a few questions for the tech since this sleep study would be different from those in the past.  Cyler handled everything remarkebly well.  Didn't put up much of a fuss as she stuck over 25 electrodes to him in varius places.  He did however protest greatly when it came to a cannula that was to be placed under his nose to monitor his ETCO2.  He repeatedly pulled it off and all of the wires were pulled together so tightly that it was almost impossible to put it back in the correct position without totally disturbing everything.  When he finally fell asleep we tried several times to adjust this.  Everytime he would wake up crying.  I can understand why he was soo upset but the tech told us that this was actually one of the most important parts.  UGH!  Finally, she told us that if we could just hold it into position for a few minutes every half hour so that she could get a reading that would be ok.  Finally, Cyler got some good sleep.  He did soo well.  His sats stayed at about 98% all night and his ETCO2 remained within normal limits as well.   Respirations were unlabored and steady.  At 5am the tech came in and told us that we could remove all of those probes and get ready to leave.  She said Cyler did well and she didn't see anything that made her think that the cap needed to be taken off. Now all we have to do is wait for the results.
