Hi all! I know I have been rather quiet lately. I have been around, just super busy. Just wanted to post a quick update on My daughter Hannah. For those of you I have not "met" yet, Hannah is nine years old and has been on CPAP since June.We have been seeing the sleep DR every month and Hannah has been slowly wearing her mask more and more. We saw the DR yesterday and he told us he does not need to see Hannah for 6 months!!! She is doing so well on CPAP. She wears her mask every night for an average of eight to nine hours. She does not fight me anymore and understands how good it makes her feel.She is even getting pretty good at putting it on herself!  I am so proud of her and just want everyone stuggling with this to know that it can be done. It mostly takes patience and persistance!!!

Heather,

I am so glad Hannah is doing good. Have the teachers noticed a difference?
LeAnn is doing good too. She's leaving it on all night, when she goes to bed she asks for her "ellapent" nose.
Another big plus for CPAP, when she had pneumonia it kept her SATS up at night.  

CPAP was alot easier than I ever thought it would be.  
Our next new challenge with the CPAP is my daughter is having a sleepover Dec 15th it will be at our house, her friend has DS too. Should be interesting!

Keep up the good work Hannah!
