Re: How Can I help new 90 year old

This forum has been a great help to me, so I'm hoping you can give some answers. I have been a cpap user for 10 years. My 90 year old father finally agreed to a sleep study -- "severe sleep apnea", apnea/hypopnea 98 per hour, Delta and REM sleep 0%. He's a zombie. He has been given a Resmed S9 Escap...
