Most likely they will institute something called "cpap" or "bipap" for your child if they determine she does definitely have it. Its essentially a breathing device that you wear on your face ( either nose, mouth or both) that provides a pressure (like a string wind) of air to your childs airway while she sleeps, to prevent the soft tissues in her throat from collapsing and causing apnea. While it sounds terrifying, its actually incredibly common in both children and adults. Do some research on "CPAP" and "BIPAP" and ask your physician what your child is definitely being diagnosed with and what interventions will be necessary. Ask lots and lots of questions until you feel you have e solid understanding of what your childs needs will be. But don't panic.... sleep apnea is super common and can be treated.
