Sleep Study

A few weeks ago I took McKayla to Seattle to do another sleep study. We got there nice and early so that we could do a little shopping at the mall. Kayla didn't think shopping was a good idea. So I took her up to the playland for kids.

When they do a sleep study they put wires all over her head, chest and legs to monitor depth of sleep, oxygen levels, heart rates, etc. she ends up looking a little scary! I never got a picture of all the wires they had to put under her nose but this is pretty close to being ready for bed.


In the morning she looks crazy because of all the leftover goop in her and on her body. Thankfully my dad got a hotel down the street so that she could have a bath before making the drive home. She wasn't thrilled about taking pictures so early in the morning.

Thankfully the study went pretty well. The equipment wasn't working right at first so we had to change rooms after she fell asleep. I was irritated but willing to move after saying a few prayers. I consider it a miracle that she didn't wake up as I picked her up and carried her down the hallway to a fresh room.

On the way home we stopped at Snoqualmie Falls. It was very pretty. Kayla loved it as you can see by that ginormous grin of hers.

So the results were good?

Why did she have to have another one? Is she still having siezures??a

Her smile is wonderful, it says so much!
