Hello everyone. Just looking for some input. My mom ha bulbar ALS and can no longer eat by mouth so she is scheduled for a peg tube next Thursday. However, she is getting it against her ALS specialist advice. Her FVC is 45 and she is unable to breath while laying on her back. But she is so determined to get the PEG. The enterologist cleared her for surgery with a pulmonary function test as recommended.
Has anyone else had a peg tube inserted with your FVC so low? My siblings and I are concerned that with the anesthesia she may not wake up?
