Thank you so much Diane for your response, I really appreciate it.  Asking questions has been the only thing that has helped me to get a better understanding of what he is going through.
1/4 of your tongue and you are able to talk and eat, wow - you are amazing.  Did they use tissue to reconstruct your tongue as well?  I am glad that you did respond - your message gives me some hope.  
Was there anything in particular that helped you feel better?  Anything at all, I just want to do what I can for him.
Thanks again Diane, may God bless you and help you through everything, I pray that you stay happy and healthy.
