Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Thank you everyone, I talked to Will's Dr on Mon and he said do whatever we have to do to make things better. I just talked Apria and we are going to trial the M6 tanks (wine bottle) with a backpack to see if that works. I asked about both the Helios and a homefill set--up and the person I talked to said that Will was too young. Something to do with being able to coordinate his breathing right to make the valve deliver the O2. So we'll see what happens. He is such a different kid when he's on the O2 we just want to give him some freedom along with it. Thank you all for your response and help, J Colo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hi , That's the way we described Collin after using the O2, he was better all around, so it has been a journey to find his freedom while using the O2.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 , You don't have to be able to coordinate your breathing with Helios, or liquid oxygen. You should not have to with the Homefill either---unless it has a conserver. You would have to with a conserver. I believe that Homefill is similar to our concentrator. Easy, less messy than all those stupid tanks. I do like liquid oxygen much better than a regular concentrator if you use it all the time. You can fill the tanks at home. Our is six and has had liquid oxygen on and off--starting at about three, I believe. No way I would want to have to deal with all the tanks as my only delivery system. Maybe you can talk to the Apria people again and tell them that you're interested in a system that does not require a conserver. Do you have a pulse ox at home so you can check his sats? If his sats go down, it is dangerous for him to be without oxygen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
