Karel no longer appears to be online. My name is Steve -- I also answer Health Questions here at JustAnswer.
Assuming that the dosage instructions on the hydrocodone are for every
four to six hours -- the medication should have mostly worn off.
So, it should be fine for you to get some needed sleep.
If your husband needs to take another hydrocodone before your husband's
doctor's office is open -- you can call Poison Control at
1-800-222-1222 they should be able to help you determine what, if any,
danger your husband is in from the hydrocodone.
Echoing Karel's advice about the C-PAP machine -- contact the company
that supplied it and ask if they can pick up (or accept) your Husband's
machine for a repair estimate -- and provide him with a loaner
machine. If finances are a problem -- also ask them, and/or
someone and the doctor's office, about community assistance
organizations or other resources to help pay for a replacement machine.
