Tammy,

Gary is so right! Patience.My friend Rod had the same tx as Dave. As soon as tx was over, he thought he could start eating everything!Wrong! He started with scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes & gravy and soup and that was about it for a while. He just started experimenting for a while and by about 5 months after tx, he was doing so much better! smile Even now, 10 months after tx stopped, he is finally getting a little saliva & is able to eat pizza! Try to watch his progress weekly instead of daily, someone told us that & it made a huge difference. Tell him it is a slow recovery process & it will get better with patience. God bless & let me know if I can help! God bless!Maureen
