Lowanne,

I can't remember did your husband have reconstruction? I didn't have the problem with secretions like your husband. I got a suction device to extract the secretions. I am concerned that he may be at risk for pneumonia if he is aspirating. I hope that everyday gets better and better. I still have my own struggles but they are nothing like they were. It does get better.
