Hi everyone,
My dad has ALS and we are trying to find out all the items we need to be saving money for. I have found a used porch lift for $650 that we are picking up this weekend but it led me to wondering.
Dad had sleep apnia before he lost all the weight due to the ALS and was on a c-pap machine to sleep, he still uses it to sleep and the doctor can adjust the volocity and oxygen satureation. Is this the same as a bi-pap or do we need to start saving for one of those?
I am a little confused about the subject, does anyone know the diference?
