...tube. Any suggestions? My dad was put on a ventilator in Sept 2011. He has been to 3 different respiratory facilities with numerous trips to the hospital in between. All he wants to do is go home. Any suggestions on the help available to make this happen? I believe Hospice is out of the question as they do not allow a person to be on a Vent. Or perhaps I have been talking to the wrong Hospice Providers.
