Post 8 YO son on BiPAP, won't leave mask on 
My son was just recently diagnosed with OSA and was placed on a BiPAP machine. The problem is that he keeps taking the mask off at night, so it's not helping him as much as it could Confused . Has anyone else delt with this? What can I do to help him relax and leave the mask on? TIA!

This sounds like  areal challange. You might try making a game of it. Get one of the original Star Wars movies and have your son wear his bi-pap while he's watching. He can pretend he's Darth Vader. The only other thing you can do is keep on trying. Sooner or later he'll learn he feels better with one on at night.
