Sleep Test Results

I finally got a hold of someone @ TCH today. Maggie's surgeon is out of the country but the nurse was nice enough to pull the test results for us. She could only tell me that Maggie's test came back showing she has moderate to severe apnea. She doesn't know how to interpret the results, so she had a PA call me back.

The PA gave me the same results and said that we needed to have another sleep test done with the CPAP machine. She warned me that this is very rough on someone so young, but it needed to be done. She also said that the doctor would most likely want to do a scope to see if there were any other obstructions. Apparently the results were enough to cause concern, especially for someone Maggie's age. She went ahead and put in the order for the sleep test and we should be called in the next week or so to have it scheduled. Hopefully, we'll get lucky again and get a canceled spot and not have to wait too long. Thankfully we don't have to wait to see the doctor before having the test done, as the first available appointment to see her doctor is not until October 1st.

Being that Maggie's medicaid benefits will end when the adoption is final, we were hoping to get everything taken care of before then. She will be added to our policy as soon as she's legally ours, but medicaid pays for everything in full (and that's always a nice thing!) It is possible, that due to this new information, we might be able to get her Medicaid benefits extended. I'm not sure - still waiting to hear back from her CPS adoption worker.

As for the the adoption, we haven't heard anything new. We weren't holding our breath that we would actually get our denial paperwork last week, or to receive her complete file. So, maybe we'll learn something this week.

Hard to believe that it's already the end of July. The last year has definitely flown by!
