Back in May, my son was diagnosted with Apnea and Restless Leg Syndrom. Today I went back for the results from his second sleep study and I was told that the Restless leg has improved, but it is still there. We have raised his iron levels and now have to maintain it.
The apnea has not changed, which if of concern. My doctor says there isn't much else she can do, and wants to have my son's hearing and speach checked to see if there is a developmental problem...if so, I would have to go to an ear, nose, throat doctor about his adnoids. If there is no problem, she mentioned giving my son melatonen.
At this point I am extremely frustrated, confused, and at the very least, upset. I don't know what else to do for my baby. I need advice. Last night, it took my husband and I at least 2 hours to get him to sleep, laying on the floor in his room, in his bed, whatever...one of us would lay there and pretend to go to sleep, the whole time, my son sits there and watched us. SO we brought him in our bed, laid him down, we got in bed, closed out eyes to go to sleep, and what is he doing? He laying on huis back starring at the ceiling! Once he finally fell asleep, he had to have woken up at least 4 more times, repositioning himself to get comfortable. He's all over the place, cannot get comfortable easily. I feel soo bad for him, and I'm soo tired from being up with him every night. I give up! Someone please give me hope that he will get better...and HOW!!
