Kuyler
The apnea monitor has gone off a couple more times since "the night that scared me half to death", so I called the Apria Medical Supply support line yesterday. And the respitory therapist told me that, yes, sometimes the apnea alarm can go off as a false alarm and as long as my baby is not turning blue and he is responsive, more than likely it is a true false alarm. Hearing this, made me more relieved that Kuyler is just tripping the alarm somehow. She even said that baby monitors and microwaves could trip it. The only way to tell if it is for sure is to come in and have the data from the machine downloaded. This information is then interpreted and the report is sent to all of his doctors. We will be taking the machine in soon for them to do this. I will let you know if these alarms were the real deal or not as soon as we get the reports from the doctor.
Kuyler has a follow-up appointment with his ENT today at noon. I am hopeful that Kuyler will not have to take any more meds because those steroids really wire him up, but since the audiologist said that Kuyler still had fluid in his left ear, he may have to be on more meds.
In the midst of all this breathing drama, Kuyler is laughing and smiling. I can actually tickle him now and get a response. I will have to record it and put a video on the blog as soon as I have a moment to do so. It is so funny!!!!

How did your appointment go? I'm glad the machine may be causing the problem and not Kuyler. That is comforting for you guys I'm sure!
