I read that and thought how scary for the mom, and kudos to the kids! I wonder how they treat a 12 week old for apnea? A miniature mask? Surgery?

with little masks. A friends daughter has SA, she was diagnosed at about 3 months. It is apparently somewhat common for children with downs syndrome to also have SA.
