Great Hannah Health News!

 Hannah had her ... 5th (?) sleep study last Friday evening. It was Tim’s turn up to bat. I was glad - after the first week of remote learning, donating blood that morning and just having a general heavy workload, I was able to have one-on-one time with Nora. 

We actually ate at a local Thai restaurant - we went right at 5pm and sat on the patio - the only customers! 

Hannah did fairly well and slept enough to get a good reading. 

The results came back already this week - Hannah’s apnea episodes went from 3 an hour down to 1! That’s huge - and without any changes in behaviors, surgeries, etc from last sleep study! 

We won’t go over the specifics until mid-October, but we can breathe easy. 

Now to try and focus on why she still gets up once a night... whether it’s behavior or what. We wordlessly walk her back every night and walk straight back out. 

I have added ferritin labs to her annual blood work. Low ferritin can cause sleep issues. 

So for now - good news!
