We went today to see Madison's ENT & Pulmonologist to discuss her sleep study results in further detail & next steps.
They were so happy with how the sleep study went. She had such an amazing improvement (they said the best they had ever seen)!! All of the many prayers for Madison definitely were heard & answered! Unless we see she is having issues again, she won't even have to have another sleep study done. They also think that as long as she does well through the winter, we will be done with the oxygen monitor in the Spring (she hasn't had to have her oxygen in ALMOST 4 WEEKS)!!
Just a side note: thinking about not having her hooked up to the oxygen monitor is almost enough to send me into a panic attack. Prayers would be appreciated for this adjustment as we get used to her actually sleeping & breathing well.
She will be having surgery soon (date pending), but nothing else needs to be done to help her sleeping at this point. The next time they put her under, here is what she is having done...
-Tongue clipped (she is tongue tied)
-Sedated hearing test & cleaning out her ear tubes (they also will replace the tubes if needed because they keep getting clogged up)
-Looking at her vocal chords / airway again with a camera to make sure they haven't missed anything
-Getting her tear duct in her eye unclogged
She will likely be under for 1-2 hours, but shouldn't have to stay in the hospital if she does really well during surgery / coming out of sedation. (If she has any issues during surgery with her breathing or airway, she could stay overnight at least).
We are so thrilled with the great news we have received about the sleep study & are so thankful for God's healing hand over Madison!
