The life story of Annabel Grace Shelander... living with Trisomy 18, the struggles along the way, and the triumphs that she continues to have.

Already home..
We were told that Annabel is the poster child for the C-PAP machine (of course they were joking)! No one could believe how great she did. She slept all night and didn't wake up until they came to do her labs around 7 a.m. Her sats stayed good on the machine. This will be short and I will let you know more next week when some of the reports are in.
If I mislead any new mommy's whose babies may have central apnea that there is nothing you can do, please forgive me. I am surely not medical in anyway. I do know that some children are given caffeine for their apnea and do very well.
As far as Annabel is concerned the only apnea they are truly concerned about right now is her obstructive and getting this under control. It is helping that she is being so cooperative.
Thank you for reading, praying and commenting on her site.

good to see your little fighter responding so well. glad she's back home!
What amazing news! Annabel is definately a miracle. :) I am sorry to hear that she had to miss her rodeo. My Peanut's school has one annually and I love it.
I hope that the CPAP is all she needs to sleep better with no apnea!
