Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hi all What if anything can be done for obstructive sleep apnoea? Amelie frequently stops breathing in her sleep, her sats monitor alarms most of the night, when we check her shes blue lipped and a good shake does the trick!! When I try and prize open her mouth her tongue is firmly at the back occluding her airway. Its not helping with our sleep, selfish i know...I mentioned this in passing in the hospital restuarant to her respiratory consultant...who said the ENT may suggest a trach...this was just a quick chat in a queue!! This scared me half to death...I know some of the kids have trachs but I thought if we have managed 2 years 4 months without one...should we be considering one or should we put up with the no sleep. Suggestions and comments greatly appreciated Les x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
