Thank you so much, Laurie!
We were talking about a hospital bed, and I think there is a way: I'll talk to my family and convince them to get it.
Gosh... I already know what he'll tell me about suction: he has to put it down his throat because that's where the stuff is that won't let him breathe... What can I tell him then? I could sometimes hear this stuff gargling deep in his throat... He hates his cough assist and tells me it only upset his throat even more..
My sisters are looking for pineapple juice - even that may be a problem...
He does have a BiPAP, with settings decided once by his doctor. That was last September, I think. I know nothing about those settings. I could ask what model the machine is, and I could talk to his doctor, too.
What needs to be cleaned in the BiPAP machine other than the mask?
