My PALS is scheduled for surgery to insert the feeding tube at the end of the month. He is very dependent on the bipap now and struggles without it, although he can still spend a little time without the support. I am concerned that he won't be able to use the bipap during the procedure, and how they are going to handle his respiratory insufficiency.
I am also told I cannot go into the facility with him, which has made him all the more apprehensive. Have any other PALS/CALS gone through this procedure while using bipap? I could use some insights. Thanks
