Mommy got the results for my sleep study today and they were even better than she was hoping for! Hopefully, my ENT feels the same way!
You may remember that after I had my tonsils and adenoids taken out in November of 2007, it cut my sleep apnea levels in half. However, they were still really high and it was still considered severe obstructive sleep apnea. Well, guess what?!?! Not anymore! Before the surgery, I had 330 episodes of shallow breathing caused by partial airway obstruction. After, one year ago, I had 198 episodes. And this time....drum roll please....I had NINE!!!!! My "severe OSA" is now called "occassional OSA."
The only number that didn't really change is the number of times I stopped breathing completely. Last time it was 35 and this time it was 32. However, throat surgery wouldn't do anything to help that. It's a neurological thing. And my levels are considered mild.
Everyone do a happy dance!!!!
