Bye, Bye Apnea Monitor!!

The medical supplies company that we have been renting Nathan's Apnea Monitor from came this morning and took it away for good!! We can't believe that we are finally through with it. We brought Nathan home from the hospital on this monitor and never took it off of him except for baths basically for over nine months!! This monitor was a saving grace for us - it would alarm anytime Nathan dropped his heart rate or wasn't breathing and if for some reason his leads came loose from his body and the monitor couldn't pick up a reading. We became quite used to it and had a hard time weaning Nathan from wearing it. The last couple of months we just used it at night while Nathan was sleeping. Then, we finally took it off of him for good!! And now it is gone - whew!!
