Quick intro I am Lowanne's son Mark. Thank you all for your support and answers you have been giving my Mom and Dad.
My mom asked me to check the board for her (the computer is up at their cabin and they are staying at home these days as closer to hospitals).
Main problem they are having right now is with the trac. He is realy having problems with secretion build up. My dad has had bad alergies and asthma for quite a few years we think this might be the cause as it is prime pollin season here in WI. My mom doesnt want to leave him alone for to long as if he starts to have trouble she needs to do the suction and irrigate. (she even bought a personal alarm like you would carry in a purse that is realy loud siren in case he needs her while she goes out to take care of dogs). Any one have any suggestions? (we do have a humidifier right by him and she got a hepafilter to try to keep the pollin down in the house).
I realy wish I could help out more but I am about 80 miles away (actualy live in Green Bay)and can only go visit on weekends.
