Re: possible birth defect

I know Shannon is off somewhere, but she has a garter that stays upside down... even eats upside down!! Apparently a neurological defect... but he is healthy and has no idea he's "afflicted", as this is normal to him. Anyway, maybe she can give you some advice...

But I'm thinking, if he can't get control of his mouth... that's going to be a bad problem. Maybe with a bit more time he'll get some control... I know some neurological cases improve with age. But it's up to you how long to wait and try...
