Kaylynn did not pass her sleep study, so she will not be coming
home with us today. My heart is just broken in a million pieces, but she needs
to stay there to make sure she keeps breathing. We are looking at this week on
caffeine, stopping it on Friday, giving her 2 days free of it, then doing the
study again on Monday...I was so hoping to have her home...
She stopped breathing once for about 10 seconds, and dropped her
sat levels to mid-60's. She has some form of sleep apnea. They gave us the
option to take her home, but it wouldn't be until Wednesday, they would give
her major high doses of caffeine, and send her with a monitor to wear on her
chest. Roger and I both decided that was not really what we wanted to do
because if something were to happen to her, she'd be better taken care of if
she's still in the hospital.
It was a really hard decision for me, because I want her home
more than anything, but if we wouldn't get her until Wednesday, what is another
few days and giving her the caffeine over a length of time instead of high
doses all at once
