Sleep Apnea

The last time we were at the Ear, Nose and Throat specialist he had me watch for signs of sleep apnea for Kymber.  Went back to see him today and he is confident that is the issue she is having.  She breathes raspy all night long, chokes/coughs throughout the night, sleeps better in the recliner, heavy heavy wetting at night time, night terrors are getting bad, wakes up confused and crying ALL the time even naps, morning and night time, has only slept completely through the night a few times since birth... still up a couple times a night, very irritable through out the day. 

SO.... he said that tonsil sizes are measured on a scale of 0-4 and hers are around a size 3, so even if it weren't sleep apnea, he wants to remove them.  But to know what her oxygen levels and to monitor her sleep, we go for a sleep study.  Our consultation with the sleep lab is on Monday and then we will schedule the study and then surgery.  Let's hope sleep and better moods are in our future! :)

She did so good at the doctors, we were stuck in there for an hour in a tiny room with so many tempting things to touch and get into lol.

I also have no more cd player in the van.  Kymber likes to sit in the van and play, and pretend to drive.  I take the keys out and let her while I sit in the driveway or garage and work on something.  Well in between checks she stuffed quarters into the cd player :( 

Cailey's teacher wrote and she said that Cailey is already showing some progress which is GREAT but Cailey told me that she doesn't like school because it is so hard.  I dont know what to do to keep her encouraged. I've told her it will get easier and easier, but I want her to enjoy going, not dread it.  They have tutoring beginning next month for her.... I will take her Tuesdays and Thursdays at 730am for tutoring.  I have to think of something to make it more exciting for her.
