I talked to Dr. D today, and Ellie isn't going to be admitted on Monday. She is going to have her sleep study and then we are going home. Because the sleep study takes a while to interpret (read it is summer and everyone is away) they need a whole before they want to admit her. Now we are looking at a late August admission, on the heels of a clinic visit.
I mentioned that ENT didn't feel there was anything they could do with regards to removing tonsils and/or adenoids.
She asked how Ellie was growing, and didn't sound particularly pleased with what I told her. Wee nugget is still very wee!
Dr. W, head of ICU is away for most of September, so the plan is to have Ellie in well before he leaves.
We are hoping and praying that at the very least, Ellie's central apnea has improved. Dr. D said that OSA can be managed with bipap, but central is concerning. If I remember correctly, the results of the first sleep study showed sever central, and moderate obstructive apnea. Hoping for improvement, and a very short, uncomplicated stay at the end of the month.
Thanks for reading. It is always nice to see that I am not just writing to myself :)
