Phil called today after he left the doctor to tell me the doctor told him that he should be dead. Ok so maybe that is a little morbid and perhaps a tiny bit dramatic, but apparently it isn't that far off. As most of you know Phil has Sleep Apnea. He had his sleep test done about a month ago and they were in such a hurry to get him to see the doctor and then we had to wait this long. All we knew that the test proved what I have been telling him for months now that he does in fact have the Sleep Apnea. Why go to a lab when you have a wife who doesn't sleep and can tell you that you do in fact stop breathing?! Anyway the doctor told him that he is in the danger area of sleep apnea and that a mild sleep apnea diagnosed person stops breathing 5-10 times an hour, 10-20 is moderate, 20-30 is severe. Well hold your breath, or don't because that is Phil's problem, he stopped breathing 78 times an hour. So yes he is in pretty bad shape. Seems we just can't catch a break from all the doctor visits around here. Good thing our children are healthy!
