Last night, we tried the bipap for the first time. It was not good. I am hoping that what we need is to use it during the day so he can get used to it. I am hoping our PALS can give me some advice.
What does the bipap feel like? I realize the mask must feel suffocating at times, but what does the air pressure feel like? I am hoping that if I understand it more, I can help my PALS to use it and understand it more.
He gets so tired, so fast. I believe that part of it is he can't get enough good air in, and the bad air out.
I appreciate any words of wisdom here. Just feeling so damn helpless.....
Love and light
