Reading this note and a previous one in the same time makes me 
wonder:
has anyone looked into electrical stimulation of the diapghram,
for people with this condition -- sort of like a 
pacemaker for the lungs.  I have heard of adults developing this
condition (or one related to it), although what I read about
may have been a psychological problem.
Walking requires coordination of many muscles, breathing would
require only the diaphragm (maybe other muscles would need to
assist on the rib cage?)
