Sheldon -

the excess saliva may be caused by reduced muscular abilities in the mouth/throat.  Some people find that hard candies remind them to swallow more often.  Swallowing problems can be addressed by a speech therapist and/or speech pathologist (special xrays show just what's happening).

It's great that your mother has a positive attitude -- that makes all the difference!
