James sleep study

James hasn't slept well for years and snores up a storm. He was really sick awhile ago with tonsillitis and the Dr sent him to an ENT to see about having his tonsils removed and also doing a sleep study for sleep apnea. So, he went and last night was the night. He went in about 7:30 and was in the bed all hooked up at 9:30 (super early to go to bed for him) He sent me and email of himself right before bed and this is what he looked like all hooked up.
I guess everything went as well as can be expected. He does have sleep apnea, he stops breathing for sometimes up to 45 seconds and multiple times throughout the night. By multiple, I mean up to 30 times an hour. So I guess he'll be getting some fancy little machine to keep him breathing as well as have his tonsils taken out soon. He got back home this am about 6 and crawled in the bed to snuggle, which was nice because we usually don't get to snuggle in the morning and if we do, it always includes a bunch of kids :) This time it was only Wesley drinking his bottle next to me, so 1 kid not too bad.
Anyway, I'm so glad it's Friday. It's been a crazy week. I'm looking forward to a nice weekend to include some planting, family time, soccer and church. Hope you all have nice weekends too!

Him and my mom can match ;) Hopefully he'll start feeling much more rested with the machine.

glad you got that all figured out. Isnt cuddle time in the morning the best? We usually have to go out of twon for it not to involve the kids. ;)
