Want to know what $700 dollars can buy you?

A oxygen concentrator!  How exciting for us that we get to spend that kind of money on medical supplies, blah.  We have been looking at these for awhile to buy one for Sophie.  We have had some insurance issues lately and it just made more sense for us to buy one instead of renting one.  So last night I was looking at them online and found one that had a built in pediatric settings, meaning it could go as low as Sophie needs it.  It was on sale and had all the features we needed, plus free shipping, haha.  We have mixed feelings about actually buying one, it is a little sad we hoped that we would never have to get to this point, but right now this is what she needs.  Next week we will be purchasing a pulse oximeter so we can check her blood oxygen levels.  Pretty soon we will have our own little hospital in our house.  Good thing I have a nurse for a husband!

If it works then it is $700 well spent I say! Hope it does the job for your gorgeous Sophie xxxx

Glad you found what you needed, on sale, and with the pediatric adjuster. In our family it got us less than 2 trips to the ER.
