[tri-med] Re: Sleep Apnea

Tess has been on first CPAP and then BIPAP, both humidified and has 
never had a problem with vomitting on either. Someone else's 
suggestions about obstructions somewhere might be a clue. I'm told 
that some nights Tess just won't tolerate the BIPAP for some reason. 
She also appears to sleep quite soundly and peacefully without it. 
Hope you find a solution to these troublesome problems quickly.
