Sleep study

Raphael spent two nights in hospital (Sunday and Monday night) to monitor his oxygen level while sleeping.

The first night showed very low oxygen levels, sometimes down in the 60s. The second night was much better only sometimes going down into the 80s.

Because his oxygen was so bad on Sunday night we had an appointment this morning with an ENT doctor in the hospital. As the oxygen was much better last night, the ENT visit was very short; really only to say that we don't need to do anything right at the moment. We have another appointment with the ENT on Thursday where we will have more time to ask questions about his throat and ear problems.

The nurses supposed that his position seemed to effect his oxygen intake. One said that when his head was tilted forward, his O2 levels dropped. I don't know if we will get a formal report from the sleep study. I suppose I'll have to wait and see.
