Jack thats really interesting!!
My father drops down to the 70 or 80’s super quick when he takes his nasal canular off.
CT scans of lungs have been done. He has passed pulmonary function tests. There is no pneumonia.
His sat levels just dont stay up.

Hi Wendy, Have you tried reaching out to the drug company that produces your husband’s drugs…often they will give you a break on price.

Good Luck,
Kathy
