FINALLY HOME

She finally came home today after three days of being told your going home then nope. BUT of course not without trouble. First the Doc or someone called me with all the instructions on medication and wound care are such. Mom calls and says ok come around noon. SO well 1220 I go there. TO FIND OUT. She wont be going home unless he has another Oxygen concentrator at home. BRAKES>>>>>>>>> we have one. Well seems the doc says she needs 15 liters of oxy when she walks THO they don't want her walking for 2 weeks but over all Unless there is a oxy machine that pushes 15 NO GOING HOME. Then it was 5 hours of whats going on. No one saying anything. ok. I go home cause pops was going to be there shortly.

Finally around 5 pm I think maybe bit earlier they arrive with the second oxy concentrator then the arguments, they want to take upper machine which fills the portable bottles. WELL seems since they reavaluated here and shes on 4 liters sitting and 8 when walking (NOT that she can walk for 2 weeks) She can not use the little bottles cause something like they don't make the little bottles for 8 liters those are continuous flow instead of the breath burst ( it would put ouch oxy every time she breathed in and not lose all the air in the tank as a continuous flow does) so never the less the installer is playing i was confused and left the filler for the weekend. AND the bipap.

NOW the bipap :) THIS is fun...... small unit which actually doesn't need the oxy but since shes on oxy you can attach. it is actually the same machine they use if you have Sleep apnia. It forces air into your lungs. BUT for her case it forces air into here lungs to help scub the c02 out of her blood. The pic below looks like alien but its not it's mom asleep on the couch with the bipap on. Finally had put it on for 3 hrs came out to find out she took it off cause she said it wasn't working. its not like the one in the hospital where its full force the minute it's put on. this one starts soft to full force to get people used to it.
