Girls sleep apnea

Jovie Wyse girl meets a rare disease of sleep apnea. This means she can die when sleeping.

Jovie, a 7-month-old girl, suffers from congenital breathing , causing her to stop breathing during sleep. This can cause Jovie to die at any time. Slow breathing is very rare. Only about 200 cases of this disease in the world are like Jovie.

Chris and Lorna Wyse, Jovie's parents, always had to make sure that their daughter was always beside the CPR device in case she suddenly fell asleep. She must use a 21-hour CPR device.

'We were shocked when doctors discovered Jovie's health problems. We cannot take care of and play with our daughters like other normal children because she can be sleepy and stop breathing at any time, ' said Chris, Jovie's father.

Jovie's illness is very dangerous, so she always has a health care worker in the evening to make sure she breathes steadily while sleeping. In addition, her father's father is also trained in basic skills in situations where their daughter is in danger.
