Over and Done With!

Well, my sleep study is over with! Good thing they were studying me, not Mommy, because she was awake most of the night! She has a hard time sleeping now, and the bed was not very good for her aching back! But Mommy said it's okay, because I slept and that's all that matters.

It was very cold last night so Mommy bundled me up in my fancy jacket so I could stay warm on my way to the sleep lab. Daddy carried me to the car and he said he felt like he was carrying Maggie from the Simpsons when she wears her star-shaped snowsuit...

This new sleep lab is much nicer. Instead of folding up the beds during the day so they can be a doctor's office, the doctor's office is downstairs and the sleep lab is upstairs. So I had a twin size bed to sleep in and so did Mommy. The bed was much bouncier than my bed at home, and it didn't take me long to figure that out!

Of course, I was pretty upset while they were putting all the wires on me, and Mommy thinks I am much stronger this year than I was last year! It's a good thing Mommy loves me so much because she sustained a few injuries from my behavior. =) The only good thing about getting that worked up is that I fall asleep very fast. Otherwise, it would be virtually impossible to fall asleep with all this stuff on.

But this time I slept all night, and I didn't wake up until 5:00 when the tech came in to fix the wire under my chin. I decided not to go back to sleep, so he came back in to take all the stuff off of me. They were out of adhesive remover, which Mommy was not happy about, but I did really good while they were taking the stuff off of me. Mommy made the tech leave some of the bigger pieces on me so she could just let them come off in the tub later. She knew I was going straight in the bath when I got home, because we had to get all the glue out of my hair!!

We came home, and it didn't take long at all for Mommy to get me all cleaned and refreshed. We're kind of pros at getting the glue out now!

The tech couldn't tell us much about the study except to say that my oxygen level seemed to stay high all night, so that was good! We should get the results sometime early next week, so we'll let you know what they find as soon as we hear something.
