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!

James loves words and letters. He enjoys being read to. He likes it when he hears people singing the alphabet or speaking in rhymes.

Our little boy seemed to have enjoyed seeing his name spelled out on the mat.
