Unhappy useless lung , muscles gone

hi everybody
my father is gettin worse
his heart rate is always about 120 -BPM-
he cant breath properly because he has few muscles to do it
doctors say that he uses only 1/3 of his lungs-upper side of his chest- while breathing
is that the way it goes for everybody???
nothing can help him???
my prayers go nowhere

Oh Maryam I'm so sorry. I know your circumstances make it hard for you to have access to the resources most of us just take for granted. Please know we do care and wish there was a way to change that!! Take care.

Maryam is always a good reminder that no matter how bad things feel with the medical community in North America... we are pretty darned lucky!
