First,

Cyndi....oh man, I'm so sorry! That has to be really difficult for you.

Hugs!

John has a type of sleep apnea that requires a special servo or VPap machine. I don't really understand all of it, but it's even more complicated than the regular Cpap machine. He's still getting used to it, and even that was put on hold recently because of problems with his gallbladder/ pancreas. Anyway...the machine is better than his snoring and when I would wake up to make sure he was still breathing. The machine is annoying, but I've found that earplugs help.

It is a little like sleeping with Darth Vader though.
