Hi Rita, My son is 15 months too. He has had 2 sleep studies when

he was younger and it was no picnic....

They pasted wires all over his head and face, put a band around his

chest, and expected him to fall asleep and stay asleep despite all

this uncomfortable stuff! The worst part was the nasal cannula, they

put a tube in his nostrils, I imagine it feels funny and tickles, and

they had to tape it down on the sensitive skin on his face because he

kept ripping it out! He woke up several times in the night, which

wasn't typical for him, it was just all that stuff attached to him

kept waking him up. They let me stay with him all night, but of

course I hardly got any rest. Anyways, it was worth it because we

got really useful information (although it took about 2 weeks for us

to get the results back).

Wait till you see how Caitlyn moves around to get away from all that

equipment! (ha, ha! I had never seen Sam use his hands for any

purposeful movement, until he ripped that nasal tube right out!)

About the movement: Sam started pulling to stand and cruising before

he started crawling (just in the past month), and he still doesn't

really sit at all. You said Caitlyn likes to be on her feet, and

that reminds me of Sam too- he stands almost all day long now, he

would really prefer NOT to sit, ever! I think he built a lot of

strength for standing while playing in an Exersaucer, and a

Jumperoo. And in the beginning, I would put a favorite toy on the

couch and stand him up against the couch to play with the toy while I

faded off supporting him from behind.

Let us know how the sleep study goes! good luck,

Theresa
