Thank you!
He is tired all the time. He has no energy. He can’t do his normal daily tasks without being winded. His oxygen level is still good. We will look into grafting and pacing.

Did any of your doctors mention he might have sleep apnea and recommend getting an overnight sleep study done? If he isn't getting restful sleep at night because of sleep apnea, that will definitely lead to fatigue during the day. A lot of us with paralyzed diaphragms sleep better with CPAP, BIPAP, or vin machines with or without added oxygen. Just a thought.
