He is about 2/3 way through treatment. I'll suggest he wait an hour after doing the tube feeding before attempting to clear his throat - good suggestion and thank you!! He's drinking and rinsing every hour. I'm wondering if the suction would make him throw up but we will ask the nurse about this today. Thanks!
