I returned to Saint Raphael’s Hospital on Monday, February 25 after being in distress over the weekend.  I discovered something new about myself, that I have a narrow trachea, which makes it challenging to breathe in and breathe out.  Having a narrow trachea is also challenging to cough up anything. I have two new products now to use to help this situation:

1. An Acapella Pep Therapy System Green
   
   

This little green bottle is amazing for someone with breathing issues and congestion in the lungs and chest that simply won’t move.  It works by blowing into the mouthpiece then vibrating deep into your chest and lungs, moving mucus and breaking it up. By breaking up the large chunks into smaller pieces, it makes it easier to move through a narrow pipe like my trachea.

2. A Salter Aire Plus 8350 Nebulizer

While in the hospital for the second time in the first three  months of 2019, I was given nebulizer (neb) treatments. Using my Pep therapy system along with the neb treatments has helped immensely.  The large pieces of mucus is now breaking up and moving out of my lungs and I’ve stopped my continuous coughing.

For those who have asthma/COPD and or other breathing challenges, these two products may just be the gift you didn’t know you needed.  If you can’t afford both, and you had to choose one or the other, I’d say the Acapella Pep Therapy System.

Be Happy!  Be Well! Be Positive!
Blessings to you.

Once you realize that life is eternal,
That our souls our eternal,
That we return to light and physical over and over;

We then lose all our distress
We then lose all our fear of dying.  For there truly is no end.
