"3 More Sleeps!"

I know, what?

Emily wanted to know the same thing. ;)

"3 more sleeps until I get my new sleep machine!" Mom said jubilantly.

:D

Mom has sleep apnea. Which, actually, is kind of cool. I feel kind of bad saying that, but since they know there is a problem, that means they can fix the problem. She had a sleep test last week ... before the test, the dr. told her that with the amount of sleep she's been getting, she's considered sleep deprived. Also, that her airway was so small, they could hardly see it. Not good. :S

After the test, they found out she stopped breathing 9 times an hour, her oxygen levels fell below 80%, and had a hard time coming back up. Also not good.

The doctors seem to think that if they can fix her sleeping problems, it will also help the continuing headaches and heart pain. Which makes sense ... if you're getting a good night's sleep, the world is a much nicer place to live in. ;)

So, Thursday night she goes back in to get fitted for a c-pap machine. Pray that the test goes well, and also that the machine works. :)
