Gavin's sleep test

So, this is one of many tests we have done for poor Gavin. This kid has had every test in the book--but still no cure for the cough and boogers... This test was for sleep apnea. G has always been a slow breather at night and it wasn't until he slept over at Liz's house that I realized it probably wasn't all that normal! You cannot breathe with the kid or you will pass out! I guess Liz and Rob had a sleepless night just trying to make sure Gavin was still breathing! Anyway, the test was easy. They stick about 50 sensors all over his body to test brain activity, body activity, breathing (or lack of), eye movement, cheek movement, dream sleep, etc. It took about 1 1/2 hours to put them on and Gavin was asleep within 5 minutes of laying down! We'll get the results on Monday! These pictures are grainy because they were taken from my phone, but still cute.

At least Gavin looks happy and like he is having fun. I bet it was so weird for him to have all those things hooked up to him. What a cute kid!

Sounds like he's cured! Any kid that can fall asleep within 5 minutes after having all those wires hooked to your body is a professional sleeper in my book.

What a sweet, cute boy. So sorry for him. I hope you can find a solution. At least you're figuring it out now and not later when he's a teen. Good luck!
