During my experience with my late father who recently died of COPD, we were constantly bouncing back and forth from home to the emergency room due to respiratory distress. He would have difficult time breathing and a very wet cough. While in the hospital for 1 day, he would receive O2 without a humidifier and his wet cough would disappear. Back home, he had the useless humidifier that pumped uncontrolled amounts of humidity into the O2 line and filled his lungs up with moisture and the cycle would repeat. Unfortunately, we finally realized it too late.Eugene Blanchardhttp://therage.blog.ca/noreply@blogger.com
