I am sitting here tonight with about a million thoughts going through my head. Why do I have so much time to think tonight when normally my brain is on overload during the day?? Well, Todd is at Walter Reed for the 2nd part of his sleep study. I guess I didn't do the update after his first one... He does have mild sleep apnea and actually stops breathing for a very short time several times a night. We were sent paperwork with his diagnosis about a month after his first sleep study. The paperwork gave him 3 options, 1. CPAP mask/machine (I refer to it as a darth vader mask) which would blow oxygen into his airway to keep them open while he sleeps. 2. some kind of oral device 3. surgery. Well he called the clinic after we received this lovely info, and they said they were going with the CPAP option!! They wouldn't even schedule an appointment for him to discuss any of these options with a doctor!!! So they tell him he needs to do another sleep study so they can determine the oxygen flow rate to keep his airway open. Of course we don't know if he will be able to handle sleeping with this mask on, or if I will be able to handle the noise it makes, oh joy!! I've had enough nightmares with Darth, don't need to feel like he is in bed next to me! :) So he will probably be in pain tomorrow, because for the sleep study he needs to be sleeping on his back, and with all of his back problems that is not good for him. So anyway, since he isn't here to occupy my time, my brain doesn't want me to chill out at all. We are also still waiting for our loan to come out of underwriting, so we will know if everything is going to go ahead as planned. Of course we had to throw a monkey wrench into it by doing a VA loan and confusing them with him still being active duty!! They needed to know why we are not buying a house here and why we would want to buy one in Indiana. Ummm...because we want to!!!! We SHOULD hear the final word tomorrow, but I am not holding my breath. Meg and I did get to see something very pretty tonight though that just made us both very happy. We had a small storm go through and it finished up with the sun out..
.
.I hope everyone is having a calm Monday evening/night. Tomorrow hopefully I will post about our Saturday trip to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg after I finish going through all the pics!!

How nice of them to not even talk about the options. Guess the one size fits all thought is in action there. I can not believe that you are still waiting on that phone call about the underwriting. Keeping fingers crossed for that call to come soon. Oh and I love the last of the pictures of the rainbow. Something about the flag in it that makes me like it so much. Have a good week and hopefully the thoughts in the brain will quiet down some for some good sleep tonight.
