LOL, Michelle!\
The g-tube is to make sure the kiddo gets the proper
nutrition and calories they need, but for some you
continue to teach them to learn to eat solids or
semi-solids.  If you are lucky they will be like
Morgan and learn to eat.  Isn't it strange that I have
to teach my child to eat?! I would never have guessed
that a child of mine would have to learn to eat!  LOL 
I guess he didn't get the eating gene from me.
