Looks like new.
If you'd like it, its yours.

Yup she's a 100% nose breather (unless she's sick)SleepingUgly wrote:Looking good! What pressure is she on? Is she able to keep her mouth shut all night?
She starts on 4 and it goes up to 6. Not high but for kids it's what they really 'start' them on. If in a month or two her AHI is high they'll adjust as needed

Re: Sorry I've been MIA!
I hear that John! Her hose is help up with a wrought iron plant holder. It makes a horrible nose when her hose drags across it.JohnO wrote:What a cute kid! I'm so glad to hear the CPAP therapy seems to be working for her. One of the things that made CPAP seems less "medical" for me was getting a fleece hose cover. It looks good, and when the hose rubs my wooden heard board, it does not make a gratings sound.
Here is one example: https://www.cpap.com/productpage/snuggl ... cover.html
I have that one. I ended up sewing my own shorty for the small diameter hose on the mask itself. If I had an actual sewing machine, I would just make the whole 6 foot one myself.
Again, congratulations!

Re: Sorry I've been MIA!
Here's how things are laid out and it's working amazingly right now

The top of her bed is raised up a bit since she seems to breathe easier that way

Her sleeping that first night with her little mask is about the cutest thing I've ever seen. Enough to bring tears to this grandma's eyes.

Re: Sorry I've been MIA!
I assume that's a ramp, and not an Auto-PAP range? Is she on CPAP or APAP?SleepyonMagnoliaSt wrote:She starts on 4 and it goes up to 6.

Re: Sorry I've been MIA!
How peaceful she looks~ however, this grandma thinks you should move the teddy bear away from her little face a bit. I know... I know... it obviously isn't bothering her, but it's bothering me.
