Jaw Pain

Charles has such jaw pain it's making things very difficult. Our last ditch effort is steroids and the morphine helps, but he can't eat much because of it. Hopefully the steroids will help.

Has anyone else had this problem? The swallowing issue is ongoing but this is new.

Not sure if it's the same but Gerrys mouth has closed now. Nothing can go in at all which is why he has a peg. No one could say why, but the mechanism opening and closing the jaw just stopped working over time. I hope they can control the pain though. God bless Charles.
