bloody stool

GJ been dealing with blood in the sputum and stool in the past few weeks, and we still don't know what causing it. We already  been in the ER for couple times and still can't figured out whats wrong with my boy. All his lab works are fine and doesn't show any changes in his blood, so I guess we are just dealing with something different here. I made an early appointment with his pediatrician today and they are heading that way right now. Hope everything is well with him. We are just throwing an idea that his G-Tube might be irritating his stomach and needed to be replace. If that the case, it is not a major problem because the pediatric surgeon can do that in few minutes. I hope that's the problem. God be with him!

Parents and Teacher's Conference

Parents and teacher's conference at GJ's school today. I am very happy to know that Gerald has been doing phenomenon at school. According to his teacher, he was totally a different person now, he was able to wait, recognized his own name as well as his friends name. He helped his friends putting away toys and learned t...o be patient. My husband and I are very pleased to hear this good news :0). Thanks a lot to Ms. Jonhson for the help and effort of teaching our kids at school.

These are the projects that Gj's participated in:

 

I love the organization of GJ's projects courtesy by the teacher and staffs! Thanks a lot teacher :)!

ER or Pediatrician Delimma

I called the cardiology clinic early this morning to tell them that my son was vomiting with blood in it. Gerald has been on warfarin (blood thinner) for couple months now and we haven't have the perfect result of this thinner. Anyway, the nurse that took my call told me to take my son to the ER. I was  reluctant to do it, because GJ was looked really well and he was at school at the time. I was strolling back in forth in our living room when I decided to just call several doctors. They all got back to me and told me the same thing to take him to the ER , but also gave me an option if my pediatrician will take him and not sending us to the ER. All of this dilemma is just the cost of going to the ER versus the regular doctors. If Gj was not in good condition, I don't need to call any doctors office and we will just go straight to the ER. Oh, believe me I am a panic person. Anyway, my husband took GJ to the pediatrician and he said he was fine. Thank God! No need to go to the ER since it is not surprising to see some  blood in the sputum if you are on the blood thinner ..I guess as long it is not a lot!

10-10-10 ^_^

10-10-10 pic...my husband's idea to take this picture

My son's 10-10-10 event was vomiting with blood! My poor little guy. I hope nothing so serious about it because he is on the Warfarin tablet ( the blood thinner). I will definitely give the cardiology a call first thing tomorrow morning. Happy 10-10-10 everyone!

GJ's Echo and Wicked Weather in Phoenix

We left around 12nn for an ECHO at St. Joe's Hospital. We parked at the rooftop of the parking lot when we saw a dust storm coming towards us. I supposed to take a photo but my camera was set to video, so that is what I got a video of dust storm. Anyway, we walked fast to the covered area until we forgot what we saw.
IN THE ECHO ROOM

Gerald Jay and Kathlyn were very playful in the pre-op room they run around and rode on the kids car that was available for kids in that area. When the time for the ECho to be done GJ walked with me in the ECHO room and he was so calm and cooperate well to the guy that did the procedure. The guy to was amazed of him being so quite and good boy!

Gerald and Matache

It took about 15 -20 minutes to take the pictures of GJ's heart and blood flow. AT the same time GJ was watching Tom and Jerry :) old cartoon characters.

HAIL IN PHOENIX

After the ECHO, we went straight back home, and we saw that the area was hit buy the storm. Leaves from our tree scattered around the front yard. There were signs of flash flood too. Anyway, later we decided to buy more milk for the kids and we were just about to leave the house. We are all in the car when the hail poured down. It was scary! I am glad that the storm didn't have a signs of damage in our area, but it sure scary the hail was size of a gold ball. Cool but Scary!

This is what it look like of our front yard after the hail storm

Kids and I still in the car while hubby went back to the house to get my camera

Ralph and the hail

almost size of a golf ball... it hit hard on the car just glad it did not create any damage.

Happy 18th Birthday to Ruby Cheung ^_^

Greetings to my little Ruby :). She is not little anymore because you turned 18. Here is a poem that I got for you dear:

"Ruby my dear, you're so special to me
a  smart and wonderful person, who I love to see
you're kind and thoughtful, a great gal
no one could wish for a better pal
today gives me a chance to say
Happy 18th Birthday  my friend, and God Bless!"

  
To everyone who are wondering who is Ruby. Ruby is my former employer's daughter way back in HK. She was about 10 years old when I joined their family and served them. They are one of the great employers that I had in the past and treat me like their own family. I had a fun and great 2 year of serving them. It was too bad that I had to leave them for a new life waiting for me here in the U.S.. Thank you very much for your kindness!

Ruby and Anthea, I missed you guys very much and I love you !
