Sleep Study

Well over a month ago, we began to notice that Matthew sleeps a LOT and sweats a LOT.  My mommy alarm isn't clanging loudly, but we thought it would be prudent to check it out to see if something is amiss or if this is just typical for Matthew.  

First we saw the cardiologist-- thankfully Matthew's heart is healthy and well!  Next we saw our nephrologist-- seems that Matthew's lone kidney is doing its job.  Mattie's C02 levels are a bit elevated, but we are just keeping an eye on it.  Finally we saw our neurologist.  He sent Matthew for blood work, and all the endocrine tests came back okay, except Mattie is a little deficient in vitamin D.  He also sent Matthew for an EEG, which Matthew screamed for an hour during. Hopefully they were able to get enough from the test. And he sent Matthew for an overnight sleep study, which Darren and Matthew went to last night.  There wasn't near as much 'sleep' as either Darren or Matthew are used to, but thankfully it is done, and we will get the results in 2 weeks.  

If the EEG and sleep study come back 'normal', then we are going to chalk up the excessive sleeping and sweating to just Matthew being Matthew.  I hope that is all that it is!

Wires everywhere! Hooked up to almost every other inch of Matthew!

I don't know how Matthew slept with all the wires, but thankfully he did!
