Annie Starts CPAP

After meeting with the pulmonologist about Annie's last sleep study results, we've decided to try CPAP to treat her sleep apnea. Unfortunately her tonsilloadenoidectomy did nothing to improve her apnea. It is quite the ordeal to get a child to tolerate wearing a CPAP mask, but we have finally gotten Annie to the point where she's doing ok with it. Unfortnately this mask is causing a sore on her nose. It's also twisting sideways when she turns her head in the night causing the nasal mask to slide over onto her cheek.

We'll be getting a new mask and cap soon, so hopefully a different style will work better for her. Once we get the mask and cap fitting well and staying on through the night, Annie will go to another sleep study where they will determine what pressure level she requires to prevent her from obstructing.
