He sleeps with it every night and he no longer snores. It also helps my mom get a peaceful night's sleep because no only does my dad not snore anymore, but the drone of the machine really helps her sleep well!

Just wanted to jump in here and say that I was going to suggest this also. My husband has been using the c-pap machine for several months now and it is a godsend!! When he did his sleep study, he actually had an average of 65 episodes a MINUTE where he stopped breathing. This is one of many possible reasons that people snore. Thank goodness our insurance covers the machine and the sleep study - my dad wants to do it too but his insurance doesn't cover it. I would highly recommend looking into this option. It truly did amazing things for my husband! And you know, most people that snore really don't realize they are not breathing. They only realize the really bad episodes but it shocked us to learn just how many times my husband stopped breathing. I finally forced him to go to the dr. for it when he jumped out of bed in the middle of the night one time and couldn't catch his breath for nearly a whole minute. Almost like he'd had the wind knocked out of him. It scared him pretty bad. Good luck persuading him to try this!

Oh, and God bless you for doing what you can to help that little girl! It's truly people like you that make a difference in these kids lives! Hope that all works out for her.
