So, my husband has just recently agreed to a PEG placement, and we are actually scheduled for it 12/5th. He has no problems chewing, swallowing or talking at the present time. However, his respiratory state has continued with a predictable decline. I have read here on the forum that PEG placement should be done before FVC is below 40.
Our neuro told us "they" / surgery will not allow the Trilogy into the O.R. Since this is usually considered a simple surgery, we were scheduled for it without an appt. to discuss this with the surgeon. I am thinking this is a bit odd; should I be asking to discuss this procedure with someone other than our neuro?
My husband Dave can only be off the Trilogy for 7-10 min. at a time. If it is true that the Trilogy will not be allowed in the OR, then maybe it is too late......?
TY for your input.
