O2 levels

[tmg16]

My Mom has been getting weaker and her breathing seems to be going fastest. She is on bipap 24/7 and seems relatively comfortable on it but when the nurse came the other day her O2 level was 93 - previously it had been above 95. She doesn't ever complain even when I ask. I know there is no predicting the progression but she has said several times that she hopes her lungs give out before her legs do. Is this the start of that? She is pretty weak all over but still able to get up herself and walk the short distance to the bathroom and back. Do the O2 levels just keep dropping and when should I worry about her being uncomfortable because I am not sure she will say?
