So, today my Dad decided to try some enchilada soup my friend made for him (all he has had for weeks are Ensure shakes). He got it all down just fine and said it was absolutely delicious. So, I go home and he calls and tells me he ate a Saltine cracker with mustard on it!!!!!! He said the mustard didn't bother his mouth and he just needed extra water to get the cracker down! THEN, he decided he wanted to eat some salsa from Chili's that my Mom had in the fridge--he had some spoonfuls of that and said it was just fine! We're so excited!!!!! We feel like he is finally turning a new leaf!!!! 4 weeks post radiation and he can eat solid food!!!! He wants to try out a little hamburger from McDonald's and see how it goes. haha. He's on a roll now!!! He's already got a list of foods he wants to try and homemade bacon gravy is at the top of the list. :))
