Anita,

I'm really sorry to read this. Can he use a Waterpik to clean his mouth? Can he get liquid form of his meds? How long with his jaw be wired shut? I'm sure others will come along with suggestions.

I'll be keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers. If I think of any other suggestions, I'll let you know.
