All,
Not sure if you can help me with this but, in the last 3-4 days Pal has worn BiPap all day and night. Prior to that he was only wearing it when I could talk him in to it because his feet were purple due to lack of Oxygen. I asked him if he was having trouble breathing and he said no. I asked why he was asking for it. He said he just feels better with it on, like its some kind of instinct. ( he types on his computer with his feet). He can't really talk at all - it sounds like mumbo jumbo, hasn't eaten anything since Jan. All tube feed. Since the BiPap is a NIV, will he be able to go on like this, he refuses a ventilator, but isn't this a ventilator of sorts? Should I move in to his room in case he is in distress at night? Do PALs pass with the bipap on? Last FVC was 17 Dec of 15
