Hi Christine,

Today is better. My tongue feels better and I've been diligient about using the magic wash. I'm not doing much better with calories, I had an ensure for 250 cals and some chicken broth for 9g protein lastnight and about 3/4 bottle of water. So far today I'm not doing well. I'm going to try to get at least 2 ensures down and 2 bottles of water by 4:00 then see what else I can get down..it's a challenge but I'm up for it! Yes, being a mom to a newborn is very hard during this treatment especially when he pulls at my neck! But, he also gets me through it so the timing is actually a blessing!
