Dear Sandra, Thank you for your information. My father, 80, with PD 10 yrs, I'm happy to say, is not a stubborn patient and has worked hard on his speech therapist's suggestions. However nighttime is getting a bit more laborious for him when it comes to dealing with phlegm. Where would I find a suction machine? Do you know if there's a manual device that might do the same thing? Thanks in advance for you time.
