He saw the ENT last week who found nothing wrong or needing intervention.  He suggested he sleep on two pillows, leaving his neck and head up higher than flat.  But... what paddster16 was talking about, the mouth guard?  He ordered one from www.puresleep.com yesterday.  Thanks for that tip.  If it doesn't work, they'll take it back, refund money, etc. 

The two pillows do work.  Until he turns over and grabs just one and is laying flatter, and it starts right up again.  So I'm crossing my fingers regarding the PureSleep help.
