Hey guys...its me again. Kate had a modified barium swallow and sleep study ordered for 8wks post palate repair. She had these done yesterday. She passed her swallow study with flying colors. We went back to the hospital last night for her sleep study...what a joke!! She has never had one done, but i knew a little what to expect. Needless to say, this was a disaster. After nine hours of screaming and not being able to get the air flow sensor thing in her nose, I threw in the towel and went home. She didn't have any desats or obvious apneas, but the tech said without the air flow sensor, you couldn't really tell anything. This place usually doesn't do babies, wich i didn't find out until later. The tech was very nice and patient, but Kate was the youngest one she had done. I know a lot of you guys have kids that have had this done....have you had this much trouble, or is it just me? What did the air flow sensor look like that they used on your babies? This one looked like a nasal cannula...like for oxygen therapy. Anyways....i don't know if I want to try again or not....i know it is important. Thanks
