Emil had his surgery
He did so well bless him, 3 days in PICU and home, managed to get the tube infected on day two but he's ok now. This was first time he has been hospitalised since he started cpap and for one the ICU staff couldn't belive he hadn't been in, and two they were amazed at the difference in him not just his breathing but he's growing now and developing they were so genuinely pleased especially the ICU consultant who Titrated him! He had minimal
Desats and they were to 85 and self limiting, improvement on de sats to 50 for prolong periods! He's such a good little boy bless him he loves his cpap that was another thing they were amazed at - how he tries to put it on himself!
Still on the look out for a battery option tho!

Crikey, what a worry, yet you remain so positive. Really hope the tumor stays away now after all she (and you) have gone through!

CPAP Total Face Mask
I was curious whether anyone has used the CPAP Total Face Masks and could pass on their observations? I've been using an Airfit F20 for years which is fine apart from the permanent red mark on the bridge of my nose, and have recently tried the…See More

"Hi
It sounds like you need to have more conversations with your sleep clinic. There's little point in having a high pressure if it means you cannot tolerate the machine. There's an interesting video here…"
Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind
HiI'm using the prisma smart max machine. Initially I was just on a nasal mask, this changed as I was sleeping with my mouth open. I then went to face and nose mask and complained of bad wind and belching. Sometimes the pressure in the night was…See More

1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test

"Nope, I just accept that some people's throats tend to close when they sleep, due to a loss of muscle tone during deeper sleep. Back when I was diagnosed, the sleep lab just filmed you whilst you slept, stuck an O2 meter on your finger,…"
