My Husband, 90 Yrs. Old, Has Been Diagnosed With A

My husband, 90 yrs. old, has been diagnosed with a gerd problem and has tried several aids to elevate the upper portion of his body so that he could get a night's rest, and not have discomforting pain awaken him during the night. Unfortunately, the types of aids he is using to sustain him through the night do not work well; for example, a raised bi-fold sponge type pillow, and more recently an aluminum structured back rest (similar to ones used at the beach). FYI in the distant past he has had gastro intestenil surgery at U of PA hospital. As his wife, I wonder if there is a special type of bed we can purchase that would better assist him. Would greatly appreciate you input. Thank you. Margaret N. Kay, YYYY@YYYY
