There are a lot of good foods to eat until the time he can't eat at all. Soups and other good canned things are good but get the low sodium if you can. There are many htings you can make for him too. As a lot of us know, you have to be a food inventor for awhile but well worth it. Give him my best.
Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
