CPAP!

Sofia passed her first 15 minute CPAP trial. Basically, CPAP removes the breath rate and some of the intake pressure and leaves only a low constant pressure to inflate her lungs, so that she has to breathe in and out on her own. She barely noticed. Here she is in pigtails today - her hair is now long enough.

Here's a link about trauma/adult cpap weaning so you get the idea
