Thanks JoAnne. I think I am probably the most impatient person in the world and Garron is no different. However, I am becoming much more patient. The challenging thing for me is Garron is a finicky eater, even before his diagnosis and treatment and is no different now. He seems to turn his nose up at anything soft. I have very patiently asked him to please be open to try things that maybe he can tolerate and not things he would like to eat but knows he can't. He wants pizza, hamburger, steak, etc. A little over achieving. I understand it has been a long time since he has been able to eat the things he really likes, but I am having a hard time pursuding him to give other things a go until he can tolerate the things he really likes. I am afraid he will keep waiting to eat what he likes and will get in trouble with the swallowing situation. I have beef stew cooking now. I hope he will give it a try.

Thanks again,
Amy C. and Garron
