We were notified by Dr Kennedy that Noah's sleep study came back really poor and would need to be admitted in to go on oxygen while sleeping.

We were admitted in to Med 3 in a bay with 2 other older patients in for diabetes. We had no TV and the bed was so lumpy. I warned the other patients and the staff Noah was difficult to put to sleep, wish they have listened. At 6pm Aaron and the kids came with the mini DVD player for me (how sweet) and we have dinner down at the cafe. Was a nice break to a horrid admission. The specs went on a 7pm and Noah struggled really bad with the nasal specs with them on. He kept removing them or screaming. At midnight an oxygen sats machine was poped on the the O2 removed because he was keeping everyone up! TOLD YOU SO! I watched all night the sats machine and no real movement even without O2. In the morning the alarm went off and his sats were 81% WTF? it was suppose to go off if under 95% stupid nurse had set it up wrong. Dr Kennedy came round in the morning and organised for the oxygen to be delivered to the house and the resp nurse to come and give up a session on how to use it. they also made plans for an ECG as his heart rate was unusal and lack of oxygen can cause heart failure. We had our info session and midday and then waited. ECG was done at 4pm and showed slight weakness of the valve but now he has to oxygen it should correct itself. ENT came down at 5 to talk about his surgery. They want him to have a hearing test first to see if his lack of speech is due to hearing loss. If so they will pop in grommets too. I got home last the next night. Was exhausted and happy it was all over!
