James and his Bard Button

After more than 21/2 years, James underwent another procedure to replace his G-tube with a Bard button. No more long tube! (Big sigh of relief).

Prepped for the procedure
Monitor for vital signs
The Bard looks like a flat thingy on top of his tummy with a kind of flip-to-open cover. It has connecting tubes that we use for feeding.

Hello, Bard!
Still groggy from the anesthesia

Can we go home now?

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.
