Re: c-pap bi pap what is it?

[Guest guest]

Darla,

C-pap is constant positive air pressure, bi pap has an on and off

cycle. (or higher pressure / lower pressure)

A lot of the care you get depends on what your doctor's experience

is. Sometimes if you are hooked into a " well-patient " practice you

will see the cookie cutter, get them their immunizations and ship

them out kind of doctoring. The docs see very few really sick kids.

While you don't want to go doctor hopping you might want to rethink

who sees your really sick kid. My sons go to different primary care

doctors. Even with a great doctor you will find yourself fighting

the same battles over and over. Sometimes our doctors have been

right and whatever care we wanted doesnt help. Sometimes you can get

them to do something by presenting it as " just to try it out " . This

lets them have an out if they are wrong.

Sorry things aren't going well.

No help such as c-pap or bi-pap (not sure the difference there-plan

to investigate on internet) ...What I really don't understand is why

some of the Mito mom's seem to get the medical attention for their

kids they need and why others have to fight for it>
