For as
long as we can remember Jonah has been
falling asleep everywhere. For sometime we have joked about him
randomly falling asleep but after a while we thought maybe there was something more to it. Jonah has always had an
off sleep schedule. Often he wakes in the middle of the night to play and he can fall asleep almost instantly during the day.
We finally decided to address this with Doctors over the summer. We have been working with some great specialists in
Zürich . Jonah has had some tests done and they think it may be narcolepsy, of course we are hoping this is not the case. Tomorrow Jonah is going in for extensive overnight testing and we are hoping to get some answers.
{They will monitor him through the night with an EEG. Then Friday he will be asked to fall asleep every 2 hours starting at 10 am until 5 pm. They monitor how fast he can fall asleep. For example, if he can fall asleep every 2 hours within 1 minute, that is a problem.} He is a little nervous about spending the night but we are trying to make it sound positive. Poor guy just needs a good nights sleep.

Oh Julie, we will be thinking good, positive thoughts for Jonah and you guys tonight! How hard for the little buy to be separated from his parents all night. Sleep overs in a hospital aren't nearly as fun. :( But hopefully they will find some answers and solutions after all this.
Wow! Although we find his "sleep anywhere" pictures totally entertaining, hope all goes well with his testing. Love you! Brian and Kelly
I will be thinking of little Jonah man tomorrow :) I hope everything goes well! Love you lots
