Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Ginny, I'm going to pop in with an answer because Lou is on sporadically. 20 is 20 liters, yes. Understand that Lou's pulmonary fibrosis is quite advanced and in addition she has pulmonary hypertension. She is under the care of Hospice and has someone with her pretty much round the clock. Lou has good days and not so good days. She's been feeling stronger lately and hopefully she will see your question and answer it. Hope that helps!

She said no, they can't do that. My dentist works about 3 houses down from here, but I am sure the insurance company that insures him and his business would not allow that to happen. Too much risk. Don't need him right now anyhow. I am talking Hospice here now. Hope my teeth behave themselves.> > > > Masks are working out pretty well and had a good nights sleep with one mask, no cannulas, and 20 ltrs. When I am in a period of sedation, the 20 ltrs seems to work out ok, but then when talking, then have to switch to the 30 cannulas.> > > > > > Will write more later.> > > > I HOPE YOU ALL ARE FEELING WELL AND FEELING BETTER TODAY.
