Thanks for the replies. We saw a derm yesterday and he noticed slight yeast on the tongue and again, slight inflammation of the mucosa. He couldn't see much on his lip. He did, however, take a biopsy of the lip and we are waiting for those results. In the meantime, he gave him a RX for clotrimazole troches.

We will give the lip balms a try. He used the Magic Mouthwash in the hospital prior and post transplant.

He too, has dry eyes. He had his tear ducts cauterized several years ago. It really hasn't helped much. He uses OTC drops. He tried the Restasis drops in the hospital prior to transplant, but developed a severe rash around his eyes.

All in all, he has very little to complain about in comparison to the way he felt before the transplant. No one believes he is 70. We are very thankful. He takes no prescriptions and hasn't for several years. Now, we pray that the lip biopsy is nothing. Thanks again!
