Heath's Journey 2/24/09

112 yikes that is the # of events we down loaded today from the last 6 weeks.

We had an ENT appointment at 10am. Heath in cloths and cloth diaper was 16lbs 10oz!!!!!!! So I am sure around 16 naked. She told us she got the fax about his download from today and his events where considered normal. He had 2 that where due to low hart rate and 4 due to breathing but they where less then 20 sec so no major events.

She looked at this chin and in his mouth and said she saw more space and could see with only using the tongue depressor this time and did not have to get out other tools to help her look. He was such a flirt with the girls in the office and cooed/smiled for them especially the blonds. The nurse commented on how well and more relaxed I looked this time with all his equipment and getting around, compared to 6 weeks ago.

We are going to be secluding a sleep study next. I had some concerns, he did not sleep before this all started and how well he started sleeping after getting the o2. But now he is pulling the O2 off him in the night and waking up just like before, so I am nervous of the talk with the other Dr. about him being ready to wean off the O2 just yet. But looking at how well he is doing she did not see any need to do anything else until after he was 6 months old unless something changes. We will go back and see her after the sleep study. Just waiting now for a call telling us when we can go do that.

She did get to see him and his tongue in action as he was "talking" to her. He touched his nose with it and everything!!! That is the first time she has seen him do what I have been telling her about since he was 3 weeks old other then in the pics I had of him doing it.
