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!

Fortunately, we were referred by my sister to my nephew's neuro who advised us to have James undergo an Electro Encephalogram (EEG) to check brain activity. Since it was about 3-4 years since James' last procedure, hubby and I were surprised to see that the graphs are now being done digitally whereas a few years ago, graphs were "written" on pages and pages of large pieces of continuous paper.
