I just want to say how much that I appreciate all of you, everyone on here. I don't know what I would have done without the help that you all are so willing to give to us. It's been very lonely for a long time, and for the last few weeks with all of you out there, I didn't feel lonely at all.
I thank you all for everything.
And I wish you all a very Merry Christmas

I think for insurance purposes they consider 4hrs or more as nightly compliance, of course his goal will be 7-8hrs which will happen. I don't know about your mask but with the FF after Mike adjusts his I put my hands around the edges to feel for any air leaking and we adjust. Also in most cases apneas occur more frequently in supine position and during his sleep study Mike had most of his events on his back, so it's a good habit to sleep on the side. If this position produces leaks after you've done all the adjusting you might want to get a special cpap pillow, you can do a search here or start a new thread about bed pillows and you'll get lots of replies. I don't want to throw too much at you all at once but even more important because we are the caregivers, having the software and daily reports is essential to seeing what's happening and giving the experts here the tools to help you understand the data and what adjustments to make. I'm glad you got your Xmas present just in time and a happy,healthy New Year to both of you. Dori
