No official resuls yet.

We haven't posted before now b/c we never got the results from the sleep study. While we were in the office for our appointment, they tried several times to get the results, but they weren't ready. I think they are going to hopefully call tomorrow. Aside from that, it was a good visit. Dr. Stevens repeated how important it is to do everything we can to keep Gabe from getting sick and reminded us that it was pretty likely if he were to get sick for him to be in the ICU and probably even back on the vent. We didn't talk about about getting a trach and home vent, but Dr. Stevens said he had spoken with Dr. Weis and Dr. Rouse, so I am sure he knows that we know it is still hanging over our heads as a possibility. He recommended a full sleep study (over night) in a couple of months to check our progress. He also decided he wanted us to have a pulse-oximeter at home to periodically check his O2. Since Gabe hasn't had any blood work since we left the hospital, we were sent over to he lab to have that done as well. He is interested in the blood gas levels (remember we got those pretty regularly in the NICU) as well as the bicarb level. We also discussed getting a flu shot when Gabe is 6 months old, and the RSV shot before then. I think that pretty well covers that appointment. Hopefully tomorrow we wil hear about the sleep study and the bloodwork.
