My moms not doing so well. shes has COPD an has been on straight oxygen for about 7years or so an right now she has phenomena in her left lung an is retaining CO2. shes been in the hospital since the 8th of this month an the phenomena is finally is clearing up some but the CO2 she keeps retaining without treatments an its been a very bumpy road getting to this point for the doctors to figure whatd works for her to regulate it.

first day she had a tube put down her throat to breath for her an suck the stuff out
secant day the tube was removed cuz my mom hated being sedated an it didnt help in the long run away. it got the CO2 out of her lungs but it sky rocketed however many hours later
day 3 they tried a regular oxygen mask thingy an seeing how that went
day 4 that mask didnt work. the CO2 sky rocketed
day 5 they tried a different mask that puts 14 pounds of air into her lungs but feels similar to driving down the road an sticking your head out the window with your mouth open going 60MPH or faster an trying to breath like that
the remainder of the days has been waiting for the phenomena to clear up enough to go home

the day 5 mask(a bipap/cpap type mask) is working so far but my mom hates the thing cuz it feels like she cant breath with it on an starts getting bad anxiety with it. to add to the matters she has short term memory an has to be explained over an over why the mask is on her face an that she can an 'is' breathing with the mask on it just feels like she cant an that she'll will die without it. i dont mind explaining to her a billion times over why the mask is on her face an that she is breathing i just hope she doesnt feel like its too much to handle/forcing her to do something she doesnt want. im hoping they send us home with a different kind of mask to level the CO2 out that doesnt make her feel like she cant breath

any good thoughts an prayers would be much appreciated
