He has been trying to take food by mouth but it gets caught in his throat and then he chokes then ther is bleeding. It is still extremely raw. I feed him about every 2.5 hours 1/2 cup at a time. He gets really bloated and feels full if we try anymore than that. The is 4-6 ounces of water at each feeding also so he does not get dehydrated.

He has tried..Yogurt Jello, cream of wheat, pudding...All soft and smooth. He has even tried (reluctantly because it is not real food) Baby food. Like applesaudce but it still burned really bad.

Everyday thought he try's something again at least of tablespoon or 2.

We have followup with RO tomorrow and am gonna talk to Karen about rinse that numbs throat only last 10 or 15 minutes but then maybe he can get more dow. by mouth. WE are one month post Radiation.
