4 month old on cpap

Post by Gdmaestro » Fri Feb 15, 2019 1:39 pm

Hey guys, I'm new here!
My little one has been on cpap for nearly 2 months now. I went in search of forums just to get a bit of support really and to not feel so alone in this.

She has obstructive sleep apnoea from severe laryngomalacia. She had surgery before christmas but it didn't sort things out completely. She's also on an NG feed.

I've been told she could have the cpap for up to 18months. Have had plenty teething issues with it. Between bad fit masks and her finding it difficult to tolerate! She pulls it off herself now as well so it has to get reapplied a few times a night. I'm exhausted!
Please tell me I'm not alone!

If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!

I hope you stay. If you have CPAP related questions the crew here is super helpful. My situation is much different but when it comes to struggling with exhaustion you're definitely not alone here.
