Hi all. Is there a list of questions posted somewhere that would be good to ask at your first clinic? I imagine it will be overwhelming and a lot of information coming at us. TIA!
 
They will go over breathing...fvc,spo2,co2,cough, make sure you know what is a good number, a bad number and what your pals numbers are and what they mean.

take a notepad for ot/pt and the dietician. They offer suggestions and improvements you can jot down

we saw a social worker and alsa...they gave us info

we saw a neurologist....I would bring a list of any questions about medications, and changes you are seeing, what to expect in the short term( should you get a flu shot, how to treat respiratory inf), when to call, things like that.
 
Be thinking about what dad needs to make life easier, and the OT or PT will order them. ( can't remember if dad is a vet!)
Things like a shower chair, holder for his razor if his arms, hands are a problem, etc.
You will be glad you went but overwhelmed!
