Dax's sleep study

As many of you read in some of my previous blogs I mention that dax had severe sleep apnea and was dropping 83 times a hour. We did a follow up study with his oxygen on and no feeding tube to see if he had improved in the 2 weeks he was home. Here is what his test looked like while he was in the hospital.... He should have a pretty solid line at the 100 mark at the top and as you can see he couldnt stay there at all.


Here is the test he took a few nights ago....



Such a HUGE difference you would think that the chart was upside down but its not he just had a great inprovement which I had expected because the doctors had said that the apnea could be beccuse the tube wasw irritating his throat. I really think this shows that! When the doctor read the study he was so shocked because oxygen doesnt fix the problem like that. I am just greatful that he is doing so well and I hope that soon he can be off the oxygen completely once we do one more study on plain old room air.
