hi all... just wanted to know how significant the weak cough is.
Is it the throat muscles weakening, signaling the beginning of swallowing difficulties?
or is it as I suspect, sign of respiratory weakness?
mum has not the forceful cough she used to have... while she is still able to clear her lungs (no cough assist needed just yet) i just wonder if we should be preparing for the next stage: respiratory failure. mum has had a very quick progression.
