    Decision about tracheostomy

    Hi Pat. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We were at the VA for 2 days for annual eval. My husband is not on a trach. The Robinul works well and on the occasional "bad" day he will take 2 pills. His secretions on a scale of 1-10 are about a 4 and are worse when he is engrossed on...
