Its been 2 years

But after reading this I couldn't help but notice how similar Tayla  and this little boy are. Steve has been sleeping on the floor in Tayla's room since Jensen was born so that everyone can get sleep! Since then he has noticed how Tayla seems to stop breathing and suddenly catch her breath (normally) resulting in her waking herself up, I guess depending on what part of her sleep cycle she was in depends on whether she falls back to sleep or starts screaming for mummy or daddy.
I looked up sleep apnea and saw this...

What are the symptoms?
• excessive daytime sleepiness- the little girl takes 3-4 hr naps during the day
• frequent episodes of obstructed breathing during sleep. (The patient may be unaware of this symptom -- usually the parents are extremely aware of this).

Associated features may include:

• snoring - loud, squeaky, raspy -yes
• nocturnal snorting, gasping, choking (may wake self up) yes
• restless sleep yes
• heavy irregular breathing yes
• excessive perspiring during sleep yes
• severe bedwetting -she is still in a nappy but she wakes up soaked
• bad dreams (nightmares) yes
• night terrors yes
• sleeps with mouth open, causing a dry mouth upon awakening yes
• chest retraction during sleep in young children (chest pulls in)
• sleeps in strange positions  yes
• confusion upon awakening
• morning headaches
• unrefreshing sleep yes
• excessive daytime sleepiness yes
• may develop high blood pressure
• may be overweight or underweight she keeps getting skinnier
• learning problems
• excessive irritability
