Sleep Apnea, phase 2

Way back on May 6, husband CB was tested for sleep apnea. Time drug on with no results until finally last week he visited with our family doctor, who told him that he had recently received "the" report. This showed that CB had sleep apnea with reduced levels of oxygen in his blood.
Last night he spent his second night at the sleep clinic, this time with one of those machines on, along with all the wires monitoring his body functions. He was told that he reached a point of NOT snoring and reaching deeper REM sleep. WOW!

This is very encouraging, except for the recent history of s-l-o-w progress in reporting. Once the report is submitted, someone will contact CB about purchasing a CPAP* machine. I am wondering if this will be sooner than the first time, since a lot of money is involved.

*(Continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) uses a machine to help a person who has obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) breathe more easily during sleep. A CPAP machine increases air pressure in your throat so that your airway does not collapse when you breathe in. When you use CPAP, your bed partner may sleep better, too. )

Sleep apnea?

I am so grateful that at long last my husband is going to a sleep clinic tonight to be tested for sleep apnea. He is renowned in our family for snoring so loudly that someone in the next room cannot sleep. CB has slept so poorly for years that we have all wondered how he functions. Worries about strokes or heart attacks have plagued us all, but seemingly not him.

It is a miracle that he made an appointment to ask the doctor about this, which happened last week without any of us knowing it. Now the insurance company approved the sleeping test, and they called him today with an opening TONIGHT!
