G-Tube Placement Date

On October 8th, 2009 Gerald is going to have G-tube placement(feeding tube that goes directly into his stomach). It will be done at St. Joe's. We don't have the exact time yet, but I will be receiving an instructions letter in couple days. I hope we will have a successful surgery and no surprises. We waited too long already to do this, and Gerald is the best candidate for G-tube now. Too bad I was hoping that he'll be eating by now. I guess I failed on that part. I just don't know anything else to do to get him to eat orally :(. Anyway, I heard a lot of good things about G-tube. Some that had experience with it says it was easy than the nose tube... so I can't wait for it. Wish us luck and most important wish GJ the best of luck! Thanks.

Echo cardiogram

Gerald had an ECHO yesterday and he did very well at this time. I remembered all those past ECHO test was not very successful, because he used to screamed and don't wanna be touch ( i can't blame him he's gone through a lot). But yesterday, he fuss a little and fell asleep while the guy was taking picture of his heart. So, I think he got a good view of the blood flow in his heart. We won't have the result until the end of October for his cardiologist follow-up appointment (still on 2 month window after the fontan).
