                        Hi,  I am sorry to hear of your husband's problem.  Hiccups are so annoying, and I'm sure your husband's are giving him lots of pain.  I have hiccups occasionally, and what always works is taking a tablespoon or 2 of honey.  It just stops them cold.  Given the severity of his problem, your husband has probably already tried this, but I wanted to offer it as a suggestion since it always works for me - Janet
