		<description><![CDATA[We now have a new machine in the house &#8211; the BiPAP.  What in the heck is a BiPAP?  &#8220;BiPAP stands for Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure.  It is a breathing apparatus that helps people get more air into their lungs.&#8221; (Wisegeek)  Essentially it helps mom out when she&#8217;s feeling short of breath.
