Hello All.
I am hoping to get some answers to help out my mother, bulbar onset. We are at the bi-pap stage now and we are not able to keep her mouth shut( even with chin strap) to really get those breaths into her lungs. Any suggestions. She is ready to give it up, throw in the towell. I desperately want her to use it, at least some as I know it will exercise those lungs and keep her here with us as long as possible. I know there have been many posts about bi-pap, I was just wondering about the open mouth issue.
Love to you all!
Holly
