How to keep canula on toddler? (m)

[Guest guest]

has always been really good about keeping a canula on until

recently. She is needing oxygen when she sleeps and removed her

canula 4 times during the night last night. I use Duoderm to tape

it on but she is still managing to get it off. I guess I could try

just using a lot more of the tape but I'm not sure that is going to

work. Any suggestions?

She is 3.5, she has down syndrome in addition to CF so she does have

some developmental delays.

Is there such a thing as an oxygen tent? If so, that would be easier.

My husband and I were just saying last night that it would be nice

if they had that. I know they used them in NICU but don't know if

they are ever used for older kids. Does anyone else know?

Hi as the only time Rebekah had oxygen she was in the hospital and we took

her cabbage patch doll in (it had a port and a button so we just added a cannula

)and she loved her baby doll being just like her .Some company actually makes

" special dolls " for kids they used to use them at our clinic so the little

kids and toddlers could see what would be done to them.Sometimes it helped for

her to be able to do some of those things that were done to her.Good Luck!

Cabbage Patch dolls hold up pretty well for the surgery you just sew them up and

they are as good as new.BeckyB.-Mama to 8 -2wcf-Nana to 2
