I can empathize with breathing problems. Not breathing takes a toll on you physically and mentally if it is prolonged.
The most scared I've ever been has been during an asthma attack. I was working really hard to get some air and it was getting worse. I've been in Auto accidents farm accidents hurt myself pretty bad, none of it was as scary as losing ground to an asthma attack. Prayers sent. |

Positive thought heading your way. Remember I was a Respiratory Therapist for 9 years. Any questions, let me know.

I've got one, that any other resp therapist won't answer. Where can I buy one of those finger sensors that measures your oxygen level? I've seen portable versions used at places like Walgreens but no one seems to sell them..

But, the problem with those are knock offs and their reliability is suspect. Hemoglobin is the boats that carry oxygen around to your bodies cells and tissues. All the pulse ox is doing is reading how full those boats are. As long as they correctly send out the waves, they knockoffs should be fine. As far as why..... Doctors don't want patients self medicating. If we get unreliable readings that don't match the physical signs we can get an ABG, the blood tells the truth. I think they should be available for purchase.

I don't know if this is right or not. I bought one a few years ago and after a quick check it looks like they are still available through many vendors online including amazon.com. I see no sign that they are banned from sale in the US. If there is a sales ban here, it's completely ineffective.

Wow, that has to be so rough; hopefully they figure things out soon; that fact he's so scared has to be heartbreaking. Prayers your way.

Prayers for both you and your son.
To you for your continued strength and guidance. For him a miraculous recovery so he'll feel great and be home in time for Santa's arrival. What's your son's name? I'd like to mention him by name in my prayers.
