Thanks David. We changed him from oxydone to ordine today and the mucous appears to have disappeared or at least lessened. He went on the oxydone when his teeth came out and the excess mucous really seemed to get full on from that day. So not sure if it is the oxydone or the teeth. We have an appt with dentist tomorrow and then again with our specialist on wednesday. I have a huge list of questions to take with me thanks to everything I'm learning from all of you. It's nice to not feel so alone anymore.
