Marvin is just starting his 10 weeks out. Only in the past few days I have been able to notice little things. He doesnt seem to sleep as much, is drinking mostly water and diet coke by mouth. We still use the tube for main nutrition. I have started to add some protein powder to his tube feedings to get extra protein in him. He tries to eat small things but we are not to sucessfull. He maybe eats 1/4 of cup of things or less but at least it is a start. Hang in there things will get better. Marvin also delt with the thick mucus for a long time during and after treatments but it has finally gotten better. I told him I cant wait until he can eat more and we can go out to eat again. My goal is get him though this and then take a cruise next winter somewhere. Thats if he can eat good again and enjoy the food. He has always wanted to go on a cruise.
