I'm sorry you guys are having so much trouble. It sounds very much like your dr doesn't give a crap! My advice move quickly either get a different dr. Or change hospitals - I can't remember if he's at a ccc - I get the feeling he isn't - but if he is! see if there is somewhere else he can go. I wouldn't wait - whatever is in his thoat is an airway obstruction. Airway is number one when it comes to care. No breath - no live...it's that simple I wouldn't wait. do a bit of research and find a better dr. I know there are issues with finances and insurance. There is information here on the orum about negotiating that. I wish I could help more but I live in Canada.but do try to see someone else. hugs - and VENT away!
