Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 1,409 | Other than the hiccs I'm glad to read all this, Heather. Especially if he's not bothered by the mask I think he'll do well. Keep us posted on all the side effects. I'm sure his team has also recommended that he swish and gargle baking soda and water along with the Caphosol. It helps.
