Got the G-Tube done!

No More NG-TUBE :)

Gerald looks great without the ng-tube in his nose and taped-up on his face. He got his G-tube last Thursday October 8th, 2009 around 12:30nn. Also he was really good, he did not whine so much. He will be going back home hopefully today:)

Ng-tube was our preference when he was little but he didn't improve with his feeding so we decided to have the G-tube done after 3 years and 3 months. Many doctors and moms were wondering why he still have the NG tube (which should only be for temporary feeding theraphy) it was our hope that he will improve in his feeding or eating therapy, but he wasn't.  G-tube was our last resource, and I am loving it. It is a lot easier than the NG-tube.  It has a positive effect on him too because he can play with other kids and not being afraid of him.
 

See! my face is clean..no tapes and no tube!
