I don't think they'll suggest a g-tube because of gagging or coughing, unless they think that she is aspirating (and yes, I have that same fear). The coughing may be a good thing because it means she is able to clear her airway.

I was totally freaked out when Andrew got his g-tube. It's not so bad now. He got his when he was 3 1/2 due to failure to thrive. I just couldn't get the weight on him and then when he got a could he would stop eating. That was the changing point, when he lost 3 lbs in a week which he couldn't afford to lose.
