Can you see her smile under that mask?

[bazooka111]

Yes, thats my Momma --- After calling 911 last week, due to extreme phlegm - oh my goodness, it was so thick -- clear -- and she literally was choking on it. Scared me to no end. Resulting in daily breathing treatments -- I think they are working!

And yes, Momma smiles through it all. I told her, "Mom, I think you're smiling here at the hospital, because you got to spend a couple of hours with some very handsome firemen" -- She actually laughed audibly --- now, that --- MADE MY DAY!

Love to you all --

Kim & Marlene (Momma)

We had a suction machine that helped a great deal. And saline. It was my go to since we could use it anytime, no drug reactions ie. albuteral.

Best wishes to your sweet mom.

[bazooka111 in reply to Cuttercat]

Hey hey! What is the name of the machine? I want to look into this. Thank you!! ((Hugs))

[Cuttercat]

Drive Heavy Duty Suction Machine. (But there are many online to look at) It had a wand. It looks like an old alternator from a car and very noisy but it worked. And there was another one with a mask like she has. It had a suction to it that could only be used two times. It was a modern machine. I had to be trained on it by a professional. Try to describe the second one to a nurse, they might remember. I'll try as well. Keep up the good work my dear!

[bazooka111 in reply to Cuttercat]

Thank you!! I will share this with our nurse!!

[Northstar1]
