Heaven's Very Special Child


Got this forwarded poem from my friend Jackie Ranit who is a wonderful teacher of children with special needs ...

Heaven's Very Special Child

A meeting was held quite far from earth.
"It's time again for another birth."
Said the angels to the Lord above.
"This special child will need much love."
His progress may seem very slow
Accomplishments he may not show
And he'll require extra care
From the folks he meets way down there
He may not run or laugh or play:
His thoughts may seem quite far away
In many ways he won't adapt
And he'll be known as handicapped
So let's be careful where he's sent
We want his life to be content.



Please, Lord, find parents who
will do a special job for you
They will not realize right away
The leading role they're asked to play
But with this child sent from above
Comes stronger faith and richer love 
And soon they'll know the privilege given
In caring for this gift from heaven
Their precious charge, so meek and mild
Is heaven's very special child.

James Undergoing EEG

Nope, James is not having his hair permed :p He had a seizure episode last August 4 when our pedia-neuro was unfortunately out of the country at the time. 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.

About This Blog

Hi everyone! This site is created to chronicle the life of Gideon James Floresca , born a preemie on September 18, 1997. He has been diagnosed with global psychomotor delay and has the spastic quadriplegic type of cerebral palsy .  Look how small James was when he was born!  He has been "eating" via a feeding tube since he was five due to failure to thrive. From an NGT (naso-gastric tube) that we used for more than 3 years, he underwent surgery in 2005 so a gastrostomy tube can be placed directly in his tummy. In March 2008, we were able to afford a Bard button which made feeding him so much easier. He's currently 100% tube-fed with complete food formula. James at 4 months old It is our hope that his story will serve to inspire and encourage even families with "normal" children. Join us in our continuous journey of hope :)
