James and his Gastrostomy Tube

Finally! After bearing the discomfort of having an NGT for feeding for more than 3 years, James finally got his g-tube on June 26, 2005. The hospital costs and doctors' fees were steep but with the help of family and friends, we were able to pool enough money for James to undergo the surgery.

Happy baby who's now NGT-free!
What the G-Tube looks like
Gotta coil the G-Tube when not in use
No more NGT! Yey!

Playing with Flash Cards

James loves words and letters. He enjoys being read to. He likes it when he hears people singing the alphabet or speaking in rhymes. He particularly gets excited when we show him big, bold letters on flash cards. The other night, Daddy and James played with letters. Our little boy seemed to have enjoyed seeing his name spelled out on the mat.

Wishlists for James

As many parents who have children with special needs know, it is sometimes very hard to find or buy supplies for our kids that we can afford. As such, if you know of people who are disposing the following items either through donations or discounted prices, do let us know. We would appreciate the help very much.  All photos you can see here are: 1. Formulas for tube-feeding that would greatly help James get the special nutrition he needs 2. Special needs equipment that would make him more comfortable and which would help us take care of him better *items are updated as the need for them arise
