It will take $15,000 to train “Hershey” to wake up a child when she stops breathing in her sleep, reports News Channel 5.
Maddie now understands that Hershey could save her life one day.
Maddie sometimes stops breathing. She suffers from sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and asthma.
“She like nibbles under my pillow and I was like, ‘Ohhh.’ She was telling me a sign that I was doing something,” Maddie said.
Buteyko breathing instruction would help these breathing and sleep issues. Also has an “airway dentist” examined Maddie yet? Clues to her airway issues may be inside of her face/mouth.
Sheryl is right, has Maddie seen a dentist that specializes in airway management? There is a new procedure now done with an oral appliance called DNA and another called mRNA that actually grow the face/mouth.
She is 7 years old. If she has a dog wake her up everytime her airway closes, what will that do to her sleep quality.
Her N3 sleep will be ruined and that is where she grows. Her REM sleep may be impaired and that will interfere with her mood and learning ability.
Her parents really need to rethink this.
