Shirley, I'm really late reading my email, but noticed your note about the

suction machine. We've had a suction machine for 4 or 5 years and it has

been a blessing. Ned started needing it only intermittently, and could

sometimes go for a few days without needing it, but over the past few years

his need increased. I always suction him before I go to bed, and unless he

is having a bad day, he can usually go through the night without " gurgling "

and needing suctioned. If you have other specific questions that I might

help you with in regard to suctioning, write to me off-line -- I always check

and answer my private email every day or so, but often have to delete the

emails from the list unread due to their high volume and my limited time.

Judy.
