Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by : Does anyone else’s child suffer from all or most of these things?
eosinophilic esophagitis, asthma, reflux, ADHD, sensory Integration disorder, and possibly Autism (we’re waiting for an official diagnosis) He also had obstructive sleep apnea as a baby. The reason I’d like to know is I wonder if this is all interrelated some how! Thanks!

Question by 525: My cousin continues to smoke around her 3 year old VERY sick child?
He has been through it all since birth.. he was diagnosed with sleep apnea and severe asthma since he was 6 months old.

I’m no doctor but shouldn’t she stop smoking in the house and around him? It makes me sick that she can’t stop for his sake and just this past winter he was hospitalized for pneumonia and bronchitis. She thinks it’s just the way it is and it has nothing to do with her. I really want to tell her off but she’s too hard headed.

He takes 2 inhalers a nite plus a ton of liquid meds to stop him from getting sicker. I can’t keep my mouth shut anymore! Ideas?

You have a right to be concerned about a family member, especially a baby. Your cousin is an assinine psycho. Slap her face and push her in the pool.

Question by Lu: Child lost his Father suddenly, how to help him with the death?
My nephew, who is 10 yrs old, was home alone with his father and was actually checking on home because his father was home sick, and he was fine @ 3:30, but when he was checking in on his dad @ 4 he wasn’t breathing and since he couldn’t get his dad up he called 911. They found out late that night that they think he had sleep apnea and when he wasn’t breathing he went into cardiac arrest. He passed away the following morning @ 10am. This was Tuesday morning. My nephew was living with his father since my sister and him had divorced and is now with my sister. My sister is going to let him spend time with his step mother, whom is 8 months pregnant and his little brother who is 2 next week for 3-4 days and the funeral is Friday.
I am not sure if there is anything I can do, but would like any suggestions anyone may have. I am a mother of 4 and I couldn’t imagine the pain him or my sister is going through right now. I am giving them space because that is what my sister asked for, but hearing her cry on the phone because my nephew is crying is breaking my heart.

Question by Peace69: Why is my daughter a whiny, tired, rude, child all of a sudden?
My daughter started kindergarten this year and she is utterly exhausted all the time. She was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea about 1 yr ago and she was sent to a specialist. Her adnoids and tonsils were then removed. After starting school, she has become rude, exhausted, “mean faces” all the time, and hardly smiles or laughs any more. She gets about 10 hrs sleep a night, and the school doesn’t allow for naps. She gets home and has started with seriously whiney, rude statements until we let her know that is not allowed in the house. She moves with no motivation or speed. Everything takes forever. If we aren’t given her constant prompts, she never does anything on time. Kindergarten doesn’t seem to be about fun anymore. It seems like it is trying to create little robots and pushing kids a little early. No naps and more of the play equipment has been removed from the school to lessen lawsuits. Lack of rest and fun seem to cause distress. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer by Natasha
instead of looking on YA for answers try talking to some specialists. and may i ask how your sons arm was broke in 6 places and healing before you even knew??? i would think he would have been in so much pain that he would have been irritable enough that you would have taken him in before it started healing.
