Oxygen Concentrator
Linda;
I am so sorry for the news about Al. Please give him my love, and know that you are both in our thoughts and prayers. I understand that numb feeling - when Earl was first diagnosed - the one Dr. told me he had between 5 and 8 months. We have passed the 5 - and I am hoping for many more. I hope the Dacogen works for Al. Remember - if you are getting home oxygen - you want a concentrator, not the big green metered tanks. Too, PM me any time or call - I sent you a PM with my phone numbers. Whatever the Dr.s orders are - if you have a concentrator - you can up it if Al is feeling really bad, gets a cold, etc. Not much - just by a litre or so, and it generally helps not only to get the oxygen to the rest of the body - it might give him a little more energy. With the metered tanks - they will only refill it when the calculated time is up - so you can't add a bit if needed. And get one of the concentrators where you can refill the small tanks life if you are headed to the Dr.'s.
Take care Honey - and if you need anything - please don't hesitate to call.
((((HUGS))))
Beth
