I'm EXCITED I just got diagnosed with sleep apnea today. I've known for some time, but I finally got the diagnosis today. I need to go back to the sleep clinic and sleep there with a CPAP machine on, and then I will be on my way to feeling tons better.
So when I saw the doctor today to interpret my sleep study he told me that:
1. I woke up every 3 minutes
2. That I stopped breathing 21 times every hour
3. That I went into each sleep cycle, and I had apnea in each cycle
4. And that I only went into REM sleep one time. He said I am very REM deprived.
5. He said the CPAP machine is the only thing that can help me. That surgery wouldn't even help.
I can't wait to get this machine and start being able to sleep. Speaking of I'm about to fall asleep right now.
But I have a few more things to say if I can stay awake.
Yesterday, we went to Braxton and Dalton's birthday party.




Today Nana flew in from St. Augustine to visit. So I took advantage of having another adult here to teach the kids Candyland. It didn't go well at the beginning. They each wanted to pick their color. So they were upset if they didn't get the color they wanted.

(shoot I had 4 more pictures to put on but Blogger is being Stubborn and won't let me... so off to bed I go) goodnight!
