My husband uses his cpap machine every night, he usually sleeps good about 7 hours with the mask on, But as soon as he takes off the mask and gets out of bed, he has a terrible time breathing, He coughs a lot and cannot get his breath, this has been happening for about a month now, his breathing imp...

Hi, And thank you, this is really very nice of you to say. Yes, I really feel 2010 will be a wonderful New Year. Merry Christmas to you, Judy Judy, you are the best Christmas present any husband could want. I'm so happy he feels more rested on therapy! Good job! I wish for you, your husband, family,...

I am going to go online now to search for items & more information, like the cpap pillow and I do want the software in order to get the daily reports, I don't know how else I can be sure that this is working, and as you say, understanding the data to be able to make needed adjustments. I just want t...

Hi Dori, Exactly as you described, is what it was like last night, David ended up taking a three hour nap yesterday evening. When he woke up on his own. He came in here and told "You know Judy, this might not be so bad, I actually feel like a got a little bit of sleep, I think that I might like this...

Hi Goose, Yes...it is fantastic. I will do what you said with the mask to see if it is adjusted correctly, I want to make sure that it is sealed with no leaks, I've got to get more familar with this so that I know for sure that it is working properly. David ended up sleeping 3 hours with his first n...

Hi, Thank you so much, what a truly special Christmas this is. So much more than I expected. I know that David has a sleep dept to pay, but I can't help but feel over anxious. But I do have a lot of patience, but I can hardly wait for him to show signs of feeling better. What will be great is when h...

Hi DreamOn, Thank you very much. Now is when I want to learn everything possible with David's therapy. Now that we have the machine, mask & etc. The machine that he has is a Respironincs auto Bipap m-series biflex with smart card, and heated humidifier. DME said the pressure was set at 16. (doctors ...

Hi Dori, Guess what, DME was here at noon today very very nice man, He talked with us both, but the best part was that he listened to what David's fears were. He didn't give in to less then what David's doctor required, except for the mask. David told him just how much that he was really against wea...

Hi, I called the David's doctors office yesterday, they have mailed out to us the copy of his sleep study and the doctors prescription for the BiPap machine, I should receive it in tomorrows mail. I haven't received any more calls fro the DME man, he had orignally told me that he would recive the us...

Hi Dori, Thank you telling me this, Earlier I was wondering if where the best place was, I wasn't sure if David should be laying down, sitting up. So, thanks. And I will keep up with this every single day. Great idea. And I am so happy that everything is better for you and your hubby. It's a wonderf...

Hi Dori, What I am doing today is, I have a notebook and I am writing down all the information from everyone regarding the different information on the masks & machines, so maybe I'll have a little bit of a clue when the DME man comes here. I know that the mask is going to have to be David's decisio...

The DME man is suppose to give me call at soon as he recieves it in his office, and I will ask him what the model is and any other information that he has. He might be giving me a good price on it, because I have to pay cash, I'm not sure. I intend to go online to compare the machine as soon as I kn...

He can take as long as he needs to heal, I'm all for that. I just want him to feel better. And yes, he does have a lot of hopefully restful good sleep to catch up on. The greatest anniversary gift to me is that he is at least willing to try to get himself better. The mask will be the greatest challe...

Hi, Thank you, And I know that you and everyone are right about everything that you are saying to me. It is going to be extremely difficult for David to deal with any mask on his face, and please know that I feel for him, but he has no choice right now, he has to do this. Even though he is telling m...

I just got off the telephone with David's doctors assistant, the machine that his doctor ordered for David is a bipap. I also called the DME at he told me the same, that a bipap is what the doctor ordered. DME also told that he was told that David needs to wear the full face mask, but I told him to ...
