Maybe you can help me. My husband has PPMS and is paralyzed from the neck down. We move him with Hoyer lift, feed him , cath him ect. My concern is this. As his MS progresses his breathing is getting shallow. He coughs when he talks for any amount of time. What do I do if he chokes on food or drink. If he gets a bad cold how do I get mucus out of his throat? He can't blow his nose anymore and gets so frustrated when I can't clean it. I have a little blub syringe, (for babies) it does nothing. I have a RX for respiratory therapy eval but have not found anyone that will help teach me. They are saying he needs to go to nursing home....not on my watch. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
