Sleep Study Results
We received Brinley’s sleep study results yesterday. And in the doctor’s words Brinley is, “consistent with severe obstructive sleep apnea and moderate hypoxemia.” Looks like Brinley will be on oxygen when she sleeps, but I haven’t heard from her ear, nose, and throat doctor yet so we’ll see what he says.
