Hi everyone,
This is just an announcement for a new A.W.A.K.E. group for children and adolescents in the Washinigton DC, Maryland/Virginia areas.  This group is specifically for kids with apnea and their parents.  We will focus on successful ways to help your children understand why they are wearing CPAP, and help them to be more comfortable with it, as well as any other apnea/CPAP/sleep related questions that you may have.  Several sleep professionals will be in attendance to assist answer questions and guide the informal discussion.  We also hope to have some families with children who have experience wearing CPAP in attendance to help us with the group, so if anyone in the area would like to be involved, then please come!  
Our first meeting will be on Saturday, November 18th 2006 at 1:00 PM at

This group will meet on the second saturday of every month at Childrens Hospital at 1:00PM from now on.  If anyone wants details, or would like to be added to our reminder mailing list email tcruse@cnmc.org .

Just moving this to the top so that you pediatric folks can have a point of contact with someone who can maybe help you or refer you to someone who can answer your questions.
