Light10,

I live in Fort Collins, Colorado, and fight the dry air all the time. The humidifier makes a huge difference. We install them on our furnaces here. It isn't uncommon to have single digit humidity here in the winter, but your inside climate can be easily humidified. The moisture even helps your wood furniture and floors. We also run a portable humidifier in the bedroom at night.

If she comes to visit you be aware of the sun. We are about a mile high here. The higher altitude gets you lots closer to sunburn, with less atmosphere to protect you. She gets enough radiation in treatment - don't let the sun contribute to it. Sun hats and sun screen are required!! Be strong. Tom
