Marilyn,
As far as I know you're the first person on vent-users I've run
across fron New Jersey. Where in New Jersey do you live? I see you go to
Dr. Bach. Do you see at the MDA clinic or elsewhere? If you don't mind me
asking, what caused you to need to use a vent? Do you have a neromuscular
disease?
