G-tube was out again

I was at the Phoenix Children's Hospital around one o'clock in the afternoon when my husband called me and said " Gj's G-tube is pulled out again what am I gonna do?" Yes! He doesn't really know how to put back in a new mickey button. So, today I let him do it! I had to hurried back home because the doctor told us that if the button is out for couple hours the small whole in Gj's stomach will close. Once it close they will have to do the surgery again to put the button back in. So, I thought dad to put it back in and he was amaze how easy it was :-) to put back in.

GI appointment

I finally made an appointment for GJ with the GI doctor after 3 weeks of attempting to make an schedule , we finally got one. Thank God! But still I am very disappointed to the ER doctors and GI doctors. They seems not care about my son's current health issues. Although, GJ looks fine he still have bloody stool 4 to 5 times a day. Every time I see the bloody stool, my heart is just furious to those doctors. I am so used to see doctors that are really care for my child in times you need them, and this time I guess is quite different than I used to see, hear, and receive.
Anyway, here in a few day he will finally see a GI doctor, and I hope he is a lot better than the ER doc.

St Patrick's day and GI visit

March 17th: Saint Patrick's day

It has been almost a week that I been picking up my little boy from school because of the feeding schedule has changed and I want him to drink milk right after school instead of being in the school bus for more than an hour with an empty stomach ( teacher or nurse at school would not give any milk unless we provide prescription).

Anyway, I was trying to unlock the car when Gerald Jay run away from me and decided to walk on the concrete beam at the school parking lot. I called him many times, but he wouldn't listen.

Then finally he got tired and sat down and yelled for help! Help him get up... oh boy

After lunch we took Ralph to work early and dropped by at the park to take a family pictures. Gerald was not really liking my idea because, he want to play instead.

he was ready to go

... yup he run fast to the play ground and play fro few minutes. Leaving us (KC and I ) behind while daddy chased him. In this picture  u can see them far behind on the right side.

Well, while kuya GJ was away KC planned something else too. She crawled up in the car seat...

and made herself very comfortable while mommy continues to take lots of pictures.

And when they came Gerald was not very happy for cutting his play time off too soon. He run to this tree and sat there. I picked him up and put him on top ... but he was not really trilled about that. As you can see... he had a false smile!

Well, mommy knows how to make him smile quickly... put him on my shoulder and few seconds later he was giggling.

After the picture taking, we dropped of daddy to work and went to GI doc appointment.

He was quite happy messing with the examination table. I figured I should take some photo of him.

Anyway, the Gastrointerologist visit was great. Dr. Finch was pleased to see Gerald's progress after the last the last visit which was 8 months ago. He increase the number of pediasure that we giving from 5 cans to 6 cans everyday. Total of 1410 calories. I hope it won't get GJ bigger but maintain the good weight that it appropriate for his heart to handle.
