Subject: YIKES

YIKES...just got the results of Jess's sleep study. We knew he had a problem with sleep apnea..he has since birth..but apparently the problem has increased to the point of being considered moderately dangerous...yikes. At first they thought it was nocturnal seizures from his accident, but its not...it's increased episodes of apnea..so basically he stops breathing approximately every 3 minutes that he sleeps, which also means aside from not breathing, he doesn't reach REM sleep, so hasn't had a normal nights sleep in quite some time. Of course this doesn't help his asthma either..aye yi yi....you know, if he were a dog or a cat we would have put him to sleep by now. Now we have to get ANOTHER stupid machine for him so that he can sleep at night and not die...CPAP....I'll have to look the acronym up later..to force his airways open so that he doesn't stop breathing. I'll let you all know how it goes...
