    Keep the chow coming
    I know has good it feels to get real food down, on step closer to get the PEG removed if he has one. That was a great feeling for me.

    Reading good news like this never fails to bring a smile to my face. I wish you and David good luck on the upcoming PET. I just had my first after treatments and I am nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs waiting for the news. Best hopes and prayers are with you both.

    Celebrate!!
    Wonderful news!! It will only continue to get better now as he experiments with other foods. I still love oatmeal and eat it quite often, they have so many different flavors so you don't get tired of it as quickly. Eating a whole bowl is quite an accomplishment!!

    Stay well,
