The Oral/Max said it may take a few more visits before he sees any real improvement. In the meantime, he is using the Therabite and we he does feel there is a little improvement. We are feeling hopeful that this will work. So far, he uses the Therabite 3 to 4 times a day.
Thanks for reminding me to follow up. We were out all yesterday at Dr. appointments. I'm going to start a new post related to those visits as I think it is an issue for others. Look for Talking, breathing and light-headedness.
