Shawna-
Thanks for the reply. My mom's dr's office said that she can't get a machine like that. They claim it is for hospital use only. Which obviously is not always the case. How invasive is the machine as far as using it? Does your Dad have a home health aide do it for him or does a family member use it? Any other suggestions on how to manage the mucuous that is choking her until we can resolve the issue with the machine? She is very nauseated and vomiting from this stuff. She can't even keep the $800 anti naseua meds down long enough for them to work. Any help is appreciated.
