I finally received a call with results from Zach's sleep study. He has obstructive apnea, which means something is blocking his airway when he sleeps and it "definitely causes him to wake up" (I have an answer!). They consider 1 a high level for apnea; his was a 7 (not really sure what this means, but 7 is pretty far from 1 so I'm concerned). The good news is that he's not losing oxygen or ingesting carbon dioxide. We have a follow up appointment with his ENT on May 21st and will hopefully find out what happens next. I'm thinking positive that they will tell me he will grow out of it and he won't need his adenoids or tonsils removed!
I'll keep you updated!
