@sistertwo- I knew that you were very leery of going, and, as it turned out, for very good reasons. You must have been very angry and concerned the entire time. I remember one time visiting my son for the first time in Boulder. The dry air was great for my hair but very tough to hydrate. I must have drunk gallons of water.

I think that many people who are tied to a machine feel the way you did about your husband. I also think that since it is life saving that in itself is a payoff. It's very difficult to put ourselves in a position like that. Are your husband O2 levels back to his normal level?
