Deb had her staples removed. She was really nervous about it. I kept telling her it would not be too bad. After it was over, she said it was a lot more worse than I had lead on. At least they are out and her wound can heal completely.
Thursday was a very busy day! In the morning, Deb had her C-PAP set up. The gal that replaced me when I left the Regional Special Education Office came to help Deb set up her C-PAP. She said that after the state closed the office, she worked for some time in other positions within the College of Education while also getting a degree. After she graduated, she got her job with Lincare setting up C-PAPs and other things. In any event, Deb started using her machine. She was really nervous trying to get to sleep but she did WAY better than me on her first night. Not only her first night, but her first week. I really struggled keeping the mask on, and she has done great.
In the afternoon, Angie and I went to Pocatello. Angie had an appointment with Dr. David Donaldson with Pocatello Ear, Nose, and Throat. During her physical last fall, she had some earwax buildup so we finally got around to getting it cleaned out. After the exam, the doctor told us that Angie has some large membranes in her throat and said that she had juvenile sleep disorder. Essentially, she has the youth version of sleep apnea. He told her to get a nasal spray to use for a month to see if it helps get the membranes to normal size. The doctor also said that her tonsils were larger than normal and may need to be taken care of in the future. After the ENT appointment, we went to the eye doctor. Angie's eyes have gotten a little worse so she got a new prescription.
While we were in Poky, Lilli had her appointment with Doug Gallup of Family Services. She said it went well, and Deb said that the counselor said that he felt Lilli had progressed as much as she can. He suggested that she may want some more counseling when she resumes school next fall.
On Friday, I took Angie and Lilli to their appointment of neurofeedback with Bret Judd. On the way home, we dropped off Lilli at her friend's house in Arimo so that she can stay overnight. Later, I took Angie to the Suttons for a party.
Truly, it was a busy week!
