Kendall . . . we all know this is very difficult but as pointed out he has to have the intake. He's got the peg and it was a lifesaver for me - use it. My mouth was so messed up after 10 tx that I could only swallow small amounts of water and that was a pain. I poured 2500 calories a day down, plus some water, plus all liquid medications for 3 months. I couldn't stand the taste of Boost and the other stuff either but one way or the other your body must have support - particularly now. Tell David there's a light at the end of the tunnel which will get brighter with time. Good luck.
