My dad had his first appointment this morning with his new doctor, and we learned that his FVC resp rate is only 62%. ( My sister went along for this appointment and has shared this info with me. ) There was some talk of getting Dad a BiPap but it wasn't *pushed at this point. What are peoples' thoughts on when BiPap is needed? I know Dad isn't moving enough air and probably is easily tired, but where does the 62% FVC rate "put him" with his ALS? I'm worried about him.
