I think sleep testing should be part of preventive medicine for both children and adults. I've had pediatric patients that were on meds for reflux, adhd, and congestion when they really had sleep apnea.

Jackie, "bump" is used to push a discussion back to the top of the active discussion list.
We use it when a good discussion has fallen down the line on the active discussion list, or if a query has not received any responses.
