Thanks for the suggestion on the suction machine. We will try to get one. We tried the Robitussin which helps with the mucus but not the Mucinex pills because swallowing is difficult.
A swallowing test was done and there was no stricture although swallowing was slow and there was some aspiration.
I hope Barry is doing well.
