Thanks for some great advice. We are using an ace bandage which has helped in the pulling. A visiting nurse comes in twice a week but only does checkups and cleanings of flap donation site, skin graft site and trach area, no advice but I’m usually not here when she comes. Right now he is able to eat soft foods and liquids in addition to using the feeding tube, 2 per day. Once radiation starts in a few weeks, I know that could change. Great advice on swallowing, never would have thought of that.
