Hi
I am going to tell you a story about my 21 year old daughter she has now been in the hospitial for 10 weeks she will remain there for at least 4 more. She went undiagnosed and coded while she was in the hospital.She has been on a vent for the last ten weeks, she has a trach, she now has a pacemaker and a feeding tube. She was told she was depressed and there was nothing wrong with her it was all in her head. She now has seiziures and has been bed ridden since. If you have a loved one or yourself thinks a cpac is to much trouble just think of this young lady and know what can happen if you ignore this.
