@nanamillie Either apnea is not his problem after all, or his treatment regimen via the PAP is not the correct therapy for him (including that he doesn't actually use the machine or removes the mask partway through the night as an annoyance, something he might not be aware of....it happens). He needs more attention with the CPAP.
