Three things: Hydration - Nutrition - Pain Management

These are critical activities. At least for water, have her fill water bottles so she can monitor his intake. Make sure he gets through 40 ounces or more each day.

At this point advise her to give him anything. Anything with nuts like peanut butter is very high in calories, anything with butter. Strive for fat and proteins.

Blend a few high calorie foods and make some liquid as that gives both hydration and nutrition in one shot.

He has to have liquid or he will get dehydrated and be in the ER in a blink. It really is so critical.

Good luck, DOn
