This is our at-home oxygen set up!
We have two portable tanks, one with a stand and wheels and one with a backpack. These tanks don't last very long: 2-8 hrs, depending on what his liter per minute (lpm) flow is. We're planning on 1lpm but may get to wean down eventually.
The blue box is his concentrator which plugs into the wall and takes the room air and filters it, taking out the nitrogen and other gases, delivering only oxygen to Job's body.
When on the concentrator, at least, Job will have a 21 ft tube that connects from the concentrator to his nasal cannula, which has a 7 ft tube. It's on wheels but heavy.
Job will have meds every six hours. It's exciting to be down to only 8 meds, 4 times a day!
