My heart goes out to you and your family and especially your dad. His survival to year 2 is really something to cheer about! You might have him contact his doctor for depression. He sounds like he needs a jump start to get him going again so he can enjoy life and there are many different drugs to help get him out of this slump. He might also consider going to a physical therapist to help him increase the mobility to his neck and perhaps alieviate some of the pain he is experiencing. There are many posts on this site you could have him read that may give him some hope with dealing with the saliva issue, too. He is lucky to have such a supporting family. - Kris
