Sleep Test result

Last week, we finally got to know the sleep test result and we more or less expected the outcome of the result. Danielle has to continue depending on the bipap. There good news out of this sleep test is our respiratory doctor was comfortable to allow Danielle to be off from the mask for 1 hour a day. But this 1 hours off from the mask must be carry out in the hospital and monitor. Anyway, we have already process taking the mask off from Danielle every day for aleast 30 mins. The setting of the Bipap still remain the same without any changes. Ipap 10, Epap 5 and the bpm 25.

Sleep test II

Finally the anticipate sleep test for Danielle was done. We actually plan to carry out the test last June, but due to some reason it had to be postpone till now. But we're glad it was postponed as this time Danielle was well prepare to went through the sleep test. During the sleep test, Danielle was off from the mask from 8pm to 4 am. She actually sleep without the ventilator support. But couldn't went into deep sleep, after the test Danielle was completely tried out as she spend the next day sleeping till late afternoon. The sleep test result will only to be out next month. Till then we continue everyday removing the mask from Danielle for 20mins or more.
