Carol,

I missed your post, how nice of you to respond. I'm glad Kenny is 2 years out. Do you remember when your life returned to "normal"? Such a long journey this is.

Carol, Cookey, Mike,

My husband can not tolerate salt (or citrus...he'd cringe if I gave him even a drop of lemon juice diluted). I've given him baking soda and water...doesn't seem to help. Guaffisen (sp?) syrup is doing the most good right now.

Here's a weird thing...I gave him ginger ale the other day. And, it did something strange to the inside of his mouth....he was spitting out white pieces that kind of looked like lining of his mouth. Has anyone experienced anything like that?

Seems to only occur with the ginger ale...so we stopped that. But I had thought I had read ginger ale or club soda could help cut the mucous.
