Sleep Test

Stockton and Jorja were gone for most of the day today. Jorja went to Carter's house around noon and stayed there all day. Carter is in student government with her. He is the sophomore historian I think. They played lots and lots of games, which is funny because Jorja isn't a huge game person. They went to the mall. Jorja watched Addie try on prom dresses. (Addie is Carter's sister. She is Stockton's age. Jorja likes her a lot.) They also watched two movies. One was Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. That is all I can remember about her day. I'm glad she was able to have a fun day. Yesterday she was a bit disappointed. She had tried to plan things to do with her friends, Evan, Jaren, and Shafer. She got uninvited at the last minute because she is a girl. Not that the boys didn't want her there, but the parents wouldn't let her come. She has been saying that she wishes she was a boy lately. She doesn't really mean that, she just wants to be allowed to hang out with boys because she has more boy friends than girl friends. I'm glad she was able to have a fun day with Carter.

Stockton also was gone most of the day. He had a marathon date with a girl he knows through diving. Her name is Dani. Mike would get notifications when he would use his card. He sent me a message saying, "I've seen Stockton use his card at Chick-Fil-A, FatCats bowling and Nickelcade." Jorja and Stockton both got home at the same time. They sat on our bed and talked to us. I loved it. It was so much fun hearing about their days and watching them interact with each other. I wish I would have written this post shortly after it happened so I could remember everything. Sadly my memory is awful.

The doctor's office called me today to talk about Jorja's sleep. They want her to come in and be evaluated. They want to hook her up to machines to monitor her breathing, heart rate, mobility, they mentioned a ton of things. The test would cost us $900. Ouch. I told them we couldn't do that at this time. If it was a life or death thing that would be different, but I couldn't justify spending $900 for information. The neurologist is also a sleep specialist, so I think this is something that they try to get their patients to do rather than something that needs to be done. At least I hope that is the case.
