The Next 24 Hours

Stopping in for a quick update, since I’ve had more than one person remind me that it’s time for an update.

This guy has some big things in the next 24 hours. He has a sleep study tonight and hearing aids tomorrow! One of those is a little more exciting than the other. The sleep study is to see how he’s done since having his adenoids removed. We have noticed a huge difference in his sleep, his breathing, and his demeanor. I’m hopeful the sleep study confirms what we saw after his surgery, which was his decreased need for high BiPAP settings. He’s on a very low setting and doing well at home, but the sleep study will monitor things we can’t see or monitor at home. These are things like movement, CO2 levels, and brain activity.

Tomorrow afternoon he has his hearing aid fitting. We are super excited (and nervous!) to see how he responds to being able to hear his environment better. I suspect he’s going to be spending the next couple of weeks reminding us to quiet down. If you know us in real life, you know we aren’t very quiet. I’m also guilty of talking louder to ensure he can hear me. My hope is to try and grab video of him when he uses them for the first time.

We would welcome good vibes for the sleep study tonight, as well as continued health for Wyatt.
