I would suggest trying to chelate again every couple of weeks, and
trying every possible means to get him to chelate through the night.
Wake him more completely (he may simply have not woken enough to
remember he had agreed to cooperate). Or try it with him not really
woken up at all. Offer him bribes. Hold his nose and squirt it in
when he gasps (swallowing them is a reflex - he won't spit). Etc. Be
creative. I understand not wanting to force him to do things, but if
he had a broken arm and wouldn't let the doctor touch him you would
not give him a choice in the matter.

A few one day cycles won't be disastrous. A lot could be a problem.
But don't be afraid to try chelating until you do figure out how to
get him to swallow it at night.

Yes, but unnecessary.
