Sandra,

Best of wishes for your Mother. Tell her yes, she will be able to eat ice cream again. In the beginning it might just be in the form of a milkshake, but that is better than nothing. Some other staples that I found handy in the beginning were puddings, jello, cream of wheat, oatmeal and grits. Also mashed potatoes with lots of gravy. I would take ground turkey or beef and put it through the food processer and make up patties with gravy. She will learn by experimenting.

I'll be thinking of you and your Mom on Monday.

Take care.

Anne.
