On Wednesday we flew to Melbourne to have a Sleep Study performed at the Monash Medical Centre to determine whether Raphael still needed CPAP.
I was unimpressed by the staff who managed the CPAP while Raphael slept. They did not seem to know how to use their own CPAP machine and did not do what I told them to do when it became obvious that they did not know what they were doing. The Nurses were lovely but I don't think that they would dispute the embarrassing mistakes that they made with the machine. It reminded me on how lucky we have been in Hobart where we had the specialist introducing CPAP on Raphael themselves.
Regardless of the errors in CPAP application it was obvious that Raphael is still unable to breath properly when he sleeps. I don't have the specialists final report yet but I am 100% certain that they will recommend continuing with CPAP.

Hello, my name is Crystal I am Eva's mom, you have her blog linked on Raphael's blog.
He is just adorable and I am sorry you had such a bad time with the sleep study. I remember having Eva's and she had to be on the feeding pump all night and they gave me one to use so I did not have to bring hers and no one knew how to use it since it was different then mine. It drives me nuts when people in the medical feild do not know what they are doing.
I hope things are well and again Raphael is just to cute!!
Hugs,
Crystal and Eva
We too have experienced ineptitude with regard to medical machinery in hospitals. Graeme & I figured out Kennedy's feeding pump on our own when we got home from hospital as nobody else knew what the heck they were doing. Frustrating! I'm glad you were able to get some info from the study though.
Happy holidays to you & your family.
