We are now halfway through treatment. The doctor examined him yesterday and couldn't see or feel anything anymore. Great news! He is very tired and his mouth is raw, but he isn't really complaining too much. His biggest complaint is that he can't taste food, which makes it even more difficult to eat. He was given Oxycodone to take twice a day. It's longer acting than the Hydrocodone. He started using the magic mouthwash prior to eating. He is still maintaining his weight. Brooke's surgery went very well the other day. She didn't need any pain medicine and is eating normally. Amazing. My sister took the girls to her house and will keep them until next Sunday. I hope they don't drive her crazy! But, I am so glad for the break and I know they will have a good time.
