Re: Re: My 16 yr old son has a broken jaw, need help feeding him

[Guest guest]

Unless he doesn't eat a thing, he shouldn't loose more then 10-12 lbs.

We were told no straw, actually sipped from a plastic cup. My daughter

was wired for 8 weeks, we blended everything very thin, went thru a lot

of chicken broth. Baby food is great to puree and thin down, all soups,

there is an excellent organic soup that comes in quart boxes - already

pureed u just need to add some chicken stock... The best - corn soup...

Nice and sweet... The worst is the first week.

Becky,

I have 2 liguid diet cookbooks if you would like them. E-mail me and

I will send them to you if you'd like. I think I also have an extra

jaw wrap.
