He is eating, because he knows he has to, but really doesn't have much taste happening yet. I spoke to the doctor about this and he sort of just brushed it off. I guess as long as Leon isn't losing weight he feels he is doing ok. But he is not doing ok if he has to force himself to eat. Is this normal? Can it be because he doesn't have much of the taste back yet?
