    I say 22/7 because in a days time there is only a total of about 2 hrs a day he is not using it, but hey it is working. He falls off fairly quickly without it. By the time he ate breakfast had a cup of coffee and we brushed his teeth his oxygen level was 86%. Anyway to get to my point, after...
