Phrenic Nerve damage and paralyzed diaphragm: Anyone else have this?

I have also been diagnosed with a paralyzed diaphragm. I had a positive Sniff Test which clearly shows the frozen diaphragm. It has no known cause. Mayo Clinic suggested "wait-and-see" and re-evaluate in 4 to 6 months. My lung capacity is currently at 60%.

Do you know which Drs you saw at Mayo? I am being seen in Rochester and I’m totally impressed with the thoroughness and advice I’ve received. I just can’t get clear information on how many Diaphragmatic Plication surgeries they preform and the success rate. My situation is different than some and involves the Gastroenterologist dept. ( also an impressive group).
Thank you
