Tracy, It should NOT be hard to get a script for the suction machine. In fact, I would think the hospital would have them available for patients to use while there. We rented one from our[small medical supply store] when John got home and he used it for several months. It helped him alot. Our cost was $40.00 a month. Your Dad will probably benefit from having one at home. Good Luck and keep encouragig him. Amy
