5 year old Well Check

Gerald had his five year old well check with Dr. Golner his pediatrician. As I turned left to 12th street on the way to the clinic. Gerald was making some choo choo noises. I was surprised that he can remember the clinic. We haven't been to his doctors clinic for quite awhile. We were concerned of how much he can understand and remember, and this proved me that he can certainly remember something. Which make me happy :-).

Anyway, the doctors visit went very well. Dr. G told me that if he didn't know him and didn't his scar he will not think that Gerald is a heart kid. and will worry about the language and feeding problem. He also commented that Gerald looks pinkish and not blue anymore. Dr. G was very happy to see his improvement, and I have to admit my son looks fantastic since the last heart cath in 2010.

We love his pediatrician and we always have a positive outcome on every visit! Thanks to Dr. G!

Thanks be to God for all his grace and care!

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!

Follow up appointment

Doctor's appointment

Follow up day to the pediatrician. It has been six days since Gerald had the G-tube placed. He looks really good, but he still in pain every time we attach the extension tube  to his g-tube. He screams and hold his breath. It make my heart ache every time I see him in pain. So today, we had a follow-up with his pediatrician, and I asked him why he still in pain very time we attach the g-tube extension. The doctor checked it and even slightly put pressure on GJ's stomach. He said the pain is from his mind not the site of g-tube. He also said that the site was look good.

Neurologist good visit

My son playing with his new toy.

Today, Gerald Jay had a follow up check to Neurologist at Children's Rehabilitative Services (CRS) clinic. It was one of the good visit with the doctor, because we finally got a result from his MRI that took months ago. The doctor was really please to inform us that Gerald has only a slight differences between his left and right hemisphere of his brain compared to the previous diagnosis. I even saw the picture of his brain(aw yaks). He explained to me what went wrong and he assured that he will be alright as he grow up. As he grow up his brain also will get bigger and the slight problem in his brain will be filled and he'll be fine and grow normal. So, that was a good thing:)

Afterwards, we went to Target store and bought him a toy that he can use to write on. Picture above was the evidence:) I hope he can use that for long time and not to get bored:) I hope.
