Doris - if the mucas gets any worse and is causing him to vomit (which happened to my husband) look into the rental of a portable suction machine. We were able to get it through the hospital and the insurance paid for the rental. It is portable and he carried it everywhere - My you have been through a lot. Take care and take care of you, too.
