Thank you Mike,

I actually have some pretty good saliva. Really surprises me. I still get my nutrition from the tube feedings plus I hydrate myself through there also. I am curently running 1500 cc's of fluid through my tube a day plus all the tea that I dring and the tube feeding have to be more than enough hydration I hope.

My throat has to be getting stronger because I dont have to clear it everytime I take a swallow of my drink anymore. I have exercises to with just about everything it seems..LOL. shoulder, throat, legs, abs, you name it. Its hard to keep up with it all.

I have tried to do a few things in the blender and ended upturning one to liquid and the other was too thick. I guess its trial and error.

Anyway, thanks for the response Mike. I have been meaning to tell you that we all appreciate you being here and trying to help us when you can.

Billy
