Thanks Sandra, I'll try the articles. It's so hard to know what to do. I only want to help but they might say "Mind your own business." I'm not sure how to get the info to her since I never see her. I found her email address in the directory for the school so perhaps I'll just send her a link and hope she actually looks at it.

Hi Sandra, personally I think you did the right thing about letting her go to camp without the cpap. She would never live it down. Children are wonderful but can be very cruel. I don't think a week without cpap would compromise her as much as the stigma!

Anyway, I also have a question about ADHD and apnea. My daughter has a boy in her class that has some form of ADHD and I hardly know the family so I don't know what they are doing for him. I would like to let them know about sleep apnea being a possible cause. Even some doctors don't know much about it so I though their Dr. might not have addressed it. Maybe he has apnea but does not snore. I help out in their reading class and he is in my group and is exceedingly disruptive. He's a nice kid but pretty mean to classmates sometimes. Can you recommend a site that has good consolidated information on it so I could print out a page for them?

Thanks,
Janet

Hi Sandra, would you by any chance have some advice for this mom whose 5-year old snores?
