Doc did chest xray and blood work,waiting to hear.he is not coughing a lot but when he dose he just shudders and says it hurts.He would not finish his lunch yesterday, thinking he was going to start coughing again.

Just check on him sleeping and he has his knees pulled up to his chest,another frist.

Dee, I'm so sorry to hear about hubby: He isn't sounding well is he? Has he been losing energy quite a bit this year? Is this another downturn? You must be scared. Hope he pulls through ok...

Hugs for now XXX

You might want to look into a portable nebulizer machine & a portable suction machine.

I've had great results for my mom using both as a reactionary & precautionary measure respectively. ( mom can't speak, can't cough, can't swallow, PEG fed).

Nebulization gave her great relief.

Not what you're looking for?
