Hi, Christine.
I'll add one tip about toothpaste based on my experience. Mint toothpaste, which most of us use for the "freshness" factor can be very irritating when your mouth is sore, which happens during transplant when your white count goes to zero. Think about a kid's toothpaste that is fruit or bubble-gum flavored. I continue to have a sensitive mouth even 11+ years after my transplant and use Tim's of Maine Apricot Flavor. I wish I'd known about it earlier.
Good luck to you and your husband!
Ruth
