I'm pleased that she has improved so much!

This part jumped out at me.

It sounds a lot like my son. He's 9. He will chew a bite of meat for what seems like a good 5 minutes and still not swallow it because it just doesn't feel like it's ready to be swallowed yet. I wonder if it's some sort of depletion of meat dissolving enzymes in the saliva. He treats meat like chewing gum, the little freak.
