By way of introduction

Anastasia,

Howard and I will be leaving from our home 15 miles east of Macon, MS. We live right on the AL/MS state line. Howard has calculated it to be about 2,000 miles from here to San Diego.

Barbara,

Thanks for the insight about breathing. Actually, Howard's sats on O2 are often better than mine! He stays in the 90s but starts to get nervous when he drops to 92.

His Power Lung was delivered a couple of days ago. We got the yellow one, the easiest. He said he could not do the recommended number of breaths but will keep trying. I know most of you "swear" by this device.

Our Eclipse portable arrived and we spent most of the afternoon getting to "know" it. Haven't named it yet tho - LOL. Probably should since it will be part of the family for a little while.
