Barb,
Great news! I'm happy for both Marvin and you.

Eating will continue to be a chore for him.

Check out billy's post on the General Board entitled "Food Ideas Please", for some ideas and suggestions so that soup does not become so boring for Marvin.

Also, check with the hospital nutritionist for some ideas and suggestions. Ask about vitamin suppliments etc. to make sure he is getting the proper fuel for his body and energy.

If I can be of further help e-mail me anytime.

Cheers,

Mike
