I am still in the process of trying to get a portable oxygen concentrator for Ron. It should make our outings easier.
Since I started this entry, the respiratory tech has come and evaluated Ron's oxygen needs again. A portable concentrator is probably not the way to go due to the level of oxygen he needs. The batteries would not last long, and I would be looking for a place to plug it in frequently. Also, he would need a larger one, so I would still have a machine on wheels to pull around. The other option is a smart dose valve which is not a constant flow like he has now. With it, tanks last a lot longer, and we could have smaller tanks for outings. The valve monitors his breathing and adjusts automatically as his requirement varies.
