My Dad went to have some testing done yesterday to see if he would be able to have the procedure for the NeuRx Diaphragm Pacing System. Well that is a no-go, very disappointing. One of the reasons is his FVC is 36%. Early December he was just below 50%
So my question is:
What % is getting extremely dangerous? Obv I know that the drop is NOT good & I tried to g**gle it to find out what it all means (I know trfogey is just about to slap me upside the head lol) I just want to know where we are at, what are we looking for now. I know his breathing really sucks right now & he's constantly coughing up phlegm.
It seems that his % has dropped rather fast? Oh shoot as I'm writing that I know everyone is different.....ugh where's my crystal ball....I guess what I want to know has anyone been at a lower % and kept on "trucking" for 3 months, 6 months etc?
