Gerald Jay is finally back Home!

            This is the new way to feed Gj now : G-Tube       GJ at home...very happy to be home!

But before we went home.Winnie the pooh visited us:)

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!

side view of me:)

more picture of me!

my nostril hmmm... no tube in hehehehe

Thanks to all my doctors, nurses and to all the nice staff at St. Joe's hospital.

Last day of NG tube

 Today is the last day that we are gonna sees GJ's NG Tube. Tomorrow he'll have a new way to feeding him a G-tube:) . I am excited for him and I will not miss the NG tube at all. I am sorry that it took as awhile to decide to get the G- tube.

One last look of him with the ng-tube!

Pizza for Everyone!

I bought Gerald Jay this pizza kit. The topping and the cheese has veralco on the back, so that when you put on the top of the pizza crust it stick together. This is one way to exercise Gerald's left hand remember when he had his surgery at 1 year old, he had a stroke. The left side of his body was affected. Until now he has not gain all those back yet, he need to practice his left side some more. The Occupational Therapist suggested to get a toy that he can cut and pull using both hands. This toy is one of the things that I found at the store. He will get tired of it after few days, but I hope he'll uses his left hand when playing with it.

Just opened the box of pizza :) Pizza anyone???

What kind of toppings do you like? He looked serious..lol

He was using both hands...good hand coordination:)

more pizza kayo diyan...

Okay...last call..lol

He played with it for half hour , that was the longest time he play with a new toy.

I hope he'll try to eat a real pizza someday. Just a reminder he is going to have the G-tube placement on the 8th of October around 12nn.

Thank you guys for viewing my blog. Have a great day!
