Hi Seth,

My one suggestion that isn't a repitition of something already said is to encourage Michael to eat yogurt either by itself or mixed in with something--the kind of yogurt with active cultures. Those cultures in his mouth may help prevent thrush when his mouth starts to get dry.

I found very creamy soups, with yogurt, were about the lst thing I could eat before the mouth sores got so bad that everything was via tube.

Please keep posting and let us know how Michael is as time goes on--you are both in my thoughts (I know being te caregiver can be as hard as being the patient sometimes so don't forget to take some time for you in all this).
