Lisa,
As I sit and think about it, I don't think my brother "coughs" anymore. When he needs suctioning, he'll type "SUCTION" and it gets done. His cuff is always closed so saliva does sneak down and his mouth is constantly being suctioned as well. In the beginning when he was being suctioned (when he was 1st trached and vented) he sort of gagged during the process.....he doesn't do that anymore. Strange the things that pop in your mind.....anyway....
I am so glad Gary is doing well....and so glad you are back too.
Alison
