Good Morning All!
My mom was diagnosed with ALS Sept 2009. She currently uses a walker and a wheelchair to get around. She uses a bi-pap with oxygen at night.
She is talking about flying out to Albuquerque, NM some time in the future. I know she had to use oxygen while out there this past Feb. Is it safe for her to fly and for her to be in a place where she's had to use oxygen in the past? Her doctor told her last year when she was planning her trip for Feb that she needed to go as soon as she could, which is why she went in Feb. Would it be safe for her to fly now that it's getting difficult for her to breathe?
Ok, I'm rambling, but I am concerned.
Have a blessed day!
