Hi Anita,
My husband was getting pneumonia frequently. He's 100% tube, too. What has worked for him is sleeping almost sitting up and keeping his mouth very clean. He spends at least 15-20 minutes cleaning his mouth before bed brushing, scraping and rinsing. It lowers the bacteria levels in the mouth.
