Update on Erik


So I have finally gotten a chance to write about Erik's sleep study. He does have sleep apnea. But it is upper respiratory and his oxygen saturation levels do not drop during the spells. His longest one was 6 seconds long and he had 6 episodes in 1hr. After a few calls back and forth between doctors they are pretty sure it is caused by acid reflux and he is now on zantax and in a few months we will re evaluate the whole situation. I guess that means another sleep study. I did ask the dr if this could have been what caused Joslynn's death. But they are not 100% sure because we never were able to do a sleep study on her, but that it is a possibility.
