Susan, It took me months until I could eat. I ended up having a throat sticture. The opening for food to go down was soo closed up. Plus, I was so drained, eating took too much energy! I really thought I would never eat again! I did want a soft boiled egg in the worst way for months & just could not get it down.
Give him time. So much can change in just a few months....you'll see!
Lets hope by Christmas, he will be eating like a little church mouse!
