The husband has his sleep study tonight, to see if treating his suspected sleep apnea will help with his a-fib.

Sleep lab's about an hour and a half -in good condidtions - away and he can't drive that far alone because of the a-fib and recovery from being in the hospital two weeks ago. So the ASV, the labrador and I will be spending the night at a cheap hotel in Philadelphia rather than doing a round-trip at 8 p.m. and again at 7 a.m.

In another week or so we'll be a three-pap family. Youngest kid only sleep-walks.

I'm sure it will help your husband. I was diagnosed with afib a year ago and at the same time told to get a sleep study because my oxygen was going waaaay down while sleeping in hospital. I've been getting along fine with no afib episodes with using Rx and bipap.
