Stephany,

I've been away most of the day and have to leave again soon to take my granddaughter to her session at The Caring Place, but I will post a reply this evening. I may also send you a private email.

Briefly, though, please don't worry too much about your mom's airway being blocked. If she starts to have trouble breathing, she can have a tracheotomy done for relief.
