Thank you all for your suggestions. He is still inpatient at an LTACH. Each time he is about ready for DC to
Inpatient rehab. he has a set back with O2. I am considering trying to get him home as I feel we might be able to do more for him at home. Anyone have experience at home on hi flow O2 with trach?

Hi Tinamom,
First, allow me to unpack the acronyms to make sure I'm understanding correctly. Your husband is in a long-term acute care hospital (LTACH) currently recovering after COVID-19 infection. While he still requires hi-flow oxygen (O2) through a tracheostomy, he is almost ready for discharge (DC).

Am I right so far? Is discharge dependent on his being able to breathe on his own?
