[QUOTE="Shari, post: 226259, member: 1848"] I'm not sure how to answer your question, so forgive me if I'm blabbering, but the pulsox reads respiration rate, heart rate, and the level of oxygen saturation (O2 sat) in your blood stream. Ideally, your O2 sat should be 100%, but everyone will fall to 98 or even 95 sometimes. Anything that stays above 88% is acceptable, tho they want it to stay closer to 100%. Wee difficult child's is falling to the high 60s-low 70s repeatedly thru the night, which means something is happening to impeded his ability to breath or use oxygen. He may have apnea, where he stops breathing, or possibly enlarged adenoids which physically obstruct his airway and prevent him from breathing, or.... And anytime the body is deprived of oxygen, its additional wear and tear on the body and results in less restful sleep. Actually, the symptoms of sleep apnea in a child are very similar to those of children with other causes of behavior disorders. I refuse to rule out his sleep problem as a possible large-impact issue with him - we just can't figure out what's happening (adnoids, seizures where he stops breathing...etc - or why). Does that help? And I like your idea of overhearing her name be on the naughty list...gives me ideas. [/QUOTE]
