So good to hear from you. Jake seems to have a very similar diet to

Jordan. He eats: cheese, crackers, eggplant, meatballs, cereal,

cream cheese, butter, pancakes, chicken nuggets, fries, stouffer's

macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, english muffins, bagels, turkey,

stuffing, mashed potatoes, rice, fish sticks, crab cakes. His

teacher has been able to get him to eat corn, peas, carrots, green

beans (but only one or two of each at a sitting). He loves gravy,

dipping sauces and ketchup......so often we try to disguise food that

way. I know I am forgetting a few items, but that is the bulk of

it. Not the healthiest diet.......but that is when I am thankful

that he has a feeding tube and I can pump in a nutrious liquid diet

at night!!!!! (Actually Dr. H mentioned last summer, that if he

kept up his weight he might be able to get it in the near future

soon......I looked at her like she was crazy and she said, " OK Mom,

we will leave it in until you are ready for it to come out! " It was

funny! I think of it as his lifeline, and the thought of it coming

out scares me!

I can't wait to hear how Jordan does on gh. I am sure you are

looking forward to your next appointmnent with Dr. H.
