If the apnea itself isn't enough......

Now I'm pretty sure that she's sleepwalking. She very well could have been doing this for a while now and we just didn't know. It's hard to say. Background: She sleeps in a toddler bed at home in her own room and we have a baby gate at the door. When we got the gate sleepwalking wasn't on our minds, it was a safety thing to make sure that if she did get up to play in the middle of the night and we didn't hear her she would at least be contained in her room. We always hear her though because I still have her monitor on my bedside table. On many occasions I hear her get up and go get her water cup (we leave a sippy cup of water on her bookshelf) and get back in bed. Many weekends we go visit either my parents or my in-laws and at either house she's in her own little bed in the same room as us. My parents have a gate, but my in-laws don't.



Our first hint that she's sleepwalking was a couple of weekends ago at my in-laws. I stayed at home and Randon & Karli went to go visit them. My MIL was sleeping in the spare room with Karli and Randon was on the couch in the living room. He said in the middle of the night he saw her walk in there like she was looking for him or me and was confused. He picked her up and she went limp again like she is when she's sleeping and he put her right back in bed. Then this past weekend Karli stayed with them for the weekend and pretty much the same thing happened. My MIL said that she heard Karli get up and before she could get to her Karli was already down the hall and in the kitchen. My MIL picked her up, and same thing as before, Karli was limp again and sleeping.



When we went to the sleep clinic back in December and they were going over Karli's history, sleepwalking was one of the things she asked about. Of course that was before both of these times happened, so we told her that Karli didn't do that. And I know I'm not an expert, but this sure does sound like sleepwalking to me. Needless to say now that this has happened twice, we will be getting a baby gate for their house so that next time at least she's contained in the bedroom. Now I'm even more worried about her apnea and am praying even harder every day that we can get her on the CPAP soon.
