Hailey is coming home! The sleep study (which is called a pneumogram I found out not necogram...hey I was close!) machine is not in still. The hospital informed our insurance since this is the only reason she hasn't been released yet. They decided that she is to be sent home on an apnea monitor until the pneumogram is administered. Once the pneumogram machine is in she is to go back for the test.
The apnea monitor only alarms when she stops breathing and is different from the monitors she's on now. If she passes the pneumogram then she does not have to remain on the monitor and can go home as usual. If she fails then she will have to continue to be on the apnea monitor at home until her pediatrician decides she's ready to be off of it. So cross your fingers she passes! The nurses seem to think she will.
This is so great that she gets to come home and wait instead of waiting at the hospital! We are thrilled. If the apnea monitor is delivered tonight then we are to stay overnight at the hospital with her in a room to learn how to use it and we will go home in the morning, If the apnea monitor comes tomorrow morning then we are to stay at the hospital until about 4pm then we go home.
