Daughter is getting a CPAP -- Any advice?

Post by mamaofgirlywithacpap » Mon Nov 14, 2011 4:40 pm

My 8 year old daughter will be getting a CPAP machine soon. Any advice from others on how to best handle the transition with a child?

Thanks from her mama.

I always suggest parents of young kids go here:

Those parents have the experience you're looking for.
