Well apparently, with 4 kids under the age of 3 my post reply did not save to the site so if there is a duplicate feel free to read either or.
Ted....
This is for you, bud.
I am DONE with being nice here. AS IF I owe you ANY kind of explanation!!!! But for the sake of all here, to answer your incessan t badgering and questions why is not the husband here answering and that maybe you would change your tune if he was??? He works outside our home for a living, in a very technical field (computers) which for you IT people can know how involved and crazy and demanding and the long hours often required. And I work INSIDE the home. So therefore, as a married couple, is it not part of being married that when one needs help the other jumps in any way he or she can???? My husband does not have the time to be posting here all the time, and he is not active in any forums at all. Another thing, we have young children, and he has a ton of work that often finds him working inside and outside the office. But I am the one who has time so what DIFFERENCE does it make who posts?!!! Of course I encourage him every single day how wonderful this group is and that he would really benefit from being active instead of me posting for him - but if he doesn't have the time to do it, what is such a horrible crime that I do it for him???????????And another thing...with your constant bickering and going back and forth - how about you stop your arguing on my thread and START YOUR OWN. Is that not what threads are for???? To keep like-subjects-together???? And quit taking over mine??? Is respect a difficult concept to you?! I have been more than tolerant of your high school drama but I am tired of it. And enough is enough. Here everyone ELSE is, likely having sores of their fingers and putting tylenol out of business AND taking away from their own family and personal time to sit there and write out things for this "noob or newbie" wife...and I'm having issues making heads or tails of where the useful info starts and where your own badgering ends?! Did not your mama or papa raise you to keep quiet if you don't have anything nice to say??? Geez!!! I'll be 40 tomorrow - and I feel like I'm friggin 14 years old in grade school again. For the love of pete stop it! Be helpful or be quiet!
Getting off soapbox.
And now for the rest of you, dear ones who I just can't say how grateful I am... just so you know, with our little ones James and I have not been able to have any uninterrupted time together to go over your posts as a couple. We were up til 2am last night talking about this very thing, and he agreed that we'd put them to bed earlier tonight so that he and I can sit next to his apap machine and go through this entire thread, answering all questions, trying all suggestions, looking at all links etc etc. As for how he slept last night, he did tie the cabbage patch doll to his back lol to prevent him from going on his back. And he did adjust his settings up by .5, and I am chomping at the bit to hear how he slept last night after that change. He had to go the doctor for a blood test just to see if there are any other conditions going on other than the apnea this morning so unfortunately we did not have a chance to talk like we usually do. I am counting the moments til he gets home around 530 or 6 and he can tell me. I promise to put that too. And he also activated the mask alarm that y'all mentioned last night too. He kept the mask on all night. He has said since starting the machine that he doesn't feel more rested per se but that he does feel like he got good sleep - maybe that makes more sense to you than me because I haven't worn an apap to sleep? That's the only update he has given me. James has also read those manuals you gave - the user and the clinician. And he mentioned something about the sd card to me just now on the phone but unfortunately got another call at work so we had to hang up. So again...tonight is the night to address every single question in this thread by well intended contributors. And I will type them up and answer them. As well as update my signature as promised, with all his equipment and information. All i ask is a little patience. I take care of 4 kids under the age of 3 full time and so posting, and all, is really tough to do. I barely have enough time to breathe as it is. But I promise that I will answer, address, everything after my husband and I go through this thread together tonight when we are kid free.
