Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads
And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap
Had just settled down for a long winters nap
When all of a sudden there arose such a snore
It was a noise that shook me to the core
I glanced cross my bed to see Ma pause her breathing
I panicked to know she should be restfully sleeping
The look on her face as she gasped for more air
Told me that Mas sleep had hit a big snare
When what to my Googling eyes should appear
But a blog bout how apnea was the problem here
With a bit more digging I found about how
Ma needs a sleep study and she needs it right now
More rapid than normal her breathing it came
And I shook Ma to wake her so her air I could tame
Mas snoring and snorting her gasping and pauses
Wont have to cause any more nights of sleep losses
To Alaska Sleep Clinic we will fly in a dash
To get Mas sleep apnea diagnosed in a flash
Off to the sleep clinic in Anchorage we flew
With the car full of blankets pillows and of course Mamma too
Before we all knew it the study was done
And the doctor gave the house a ring saying the results were all in
That apnea did cause dear Ma sleepless nights
But now theres a plan to set Mas sleep up just right
Back to our home happily did Ma bound
With a new CPAP machine wrapped up in her hand
A bag of masks and hoses Ma flung on her back
And she looked like a peddler just opening her pack
Her eyes how they twinkled her dimples how merry
Her cheeks were like roses her nose like a cherry
Her small little mouth was drawn up like a bow
As she heard the air from the CPAP start to flow
Ma put on the mask as the CPAP did work
And drifted quietly to sleep without even a jerk
The CPAP was working as we all fell to sleep
The house was all quiet not even one peep
I sighed with relief to see Ma get some rest
This night before Christmas would be one of the best
I left Alaska Sleep Cinics card by the cookies right in Santas line of sight
and thought to myself
HAPPY SLEEPING TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT
