The Doc also said if it made my Mom more comfortable they could set me up in next room for the night during Mom's CPAP sleep over.
What a great doc! Good luck.

Thanks for sharing this story. I hope things go well for your mom. My mom went for a sleep study a couple years ago at 78 and was diagnosed with CSA. She did not want to wear a mask but it turns out an oxygen canula is enough. She resisted that at first but when I was diagnosed a year later with CSA and got my ASV; it put a different spin on things. Now I tease her about having the easy treatment and she is compliant.
