Now that he is into the fourth week post Tx, he is losing weight -- five lbs last week, 1lb from Friday to Monday over this past weekend -- despite taking in the same amount of formula -- 61/2 cans of Nutren 1.5 a day. He is still just able to take small sips of water by mouth and not much else because of the ropey saliva. I really need some advice on what I can do to keep his weight stable.
