Default Humidity Question??

Do you guys all have to play the humidity game and have to change the dial on the chamber. Some days Natalie is way thin and their is sooo much water (too much) in both her lines. Other days she is super thick. For her, it seems like its almost always weather related. Do any of you have this issue. Our pulonology team laughs (in that all knowing way) and says that humidity is almost the biggest battle.

Thanks,
Karen
