Gloria-

Thank you so much! Your post was incredibly helpful, and I hadn't thought of the waterpik - will definitely look into that.

I agree - getting enough water and calories will be key for him, and I've already got the nutritionist on speed dial.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response.
