Hi all, my mom has ALS bulbar onset. She moved to Colorado Springs a few weeks ago, has been on bi-pap for several months. The ALS clinic is in Denver --so we went to a local Pulmonary doc in town --he had her take a blood gas test and oxygen test. Her co2 is slightly elevated and oxygen in in the mid 80's he recommended oxygen. My mom had been told by the ALS clinic in Phoenix that they wouldn't recommend oxygen. This Colorado doc said yes, in phoenix but in Colorado not the case.....any thoughts? How many folks do oxygen? Just at night or just with the bi-pap? Only if she continues to go in and get her blood gas monitored? what if it goes up (I'm guessing the disease process it will)?
Also, any neuro in Colorado springs you can recommend?
Thanks in advance, Monica
