HAPPY NEW YEAR
January 6, 2001
The Pepcid seems to be doing something because we have a new happy baby. Wow is he alert and into things. i caught him watching Bear in the Big Blue House the other day. GI appointment is set up for Monday. They didn't want to wait 2 weeks. We are trying to have a big team meeting which may take place the same day as the catheterization. People are using the word G_tube more, but the Angio doc says not after the cath, so more time to get him feeding. he is so happy that he justs wants to play and doesn't want to eat or sleep for that matter. Well, I'll keep you all posted. -Felice

Jason has had some up and down days. We had some friends over for New YearsEve and he slept quite a bit so it was peaceful.. We are still having some trouble with the NG tube. We had the big feeding clinic visit today. It went ok. He cried ALOT, but it concerned them enough that they are going to try to do something about it. They want to check him out from a GI standpoint. We are starting him on Pepcid today and will have a follow-up with GI in 2 weeks to see if that helps. If it doesn't then we are probably looking at some nuclear scans of his stomach and intestines, maybe an acid probe and an MRI. None of it sounds like fun, but if it helps. Jason is quite fussy today, but has breaking periods of happiness and smiling. He loves to look in mirrors. I think he is a quick learner and knows if he cries mommy will pick him up in the car which is not a good thing. Well I'll try to keep up to date. His catheterization is set for Januray 16.
CAN YOU FIND MY NEW PICTURE?- IT'S ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE-

Jason had a decent Christmas, slept through most of it. I think he has a cold that his brother Zachary so nicely shared with him. In spite of this, Jason continues to make gains with eating and with his development. He really seems to like baby food, so far bananas and applesauce. He will take up to 2-3 tsps. He has taken up to 3 oz of milk by mouth also. We were leaving the tube out all day, but with this cold, he was getting too tired and not getting enough. For right now the tube is back in and boy does he fight it going down. Jason is a happier, more alert boy. he absolutely loves his brother and is now starting to watch Roscoe too. He tries to grab the spoon while you are feeding him. he smiles all the time now and laughs. He recently started to try to imitate sticking out his tongue and tongue clicks
As for Zachary, I think Santa overestimated his"goodness" this year.
Check out the new pictures to the left. Couldn't get it too work today, will try another day.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!
Zach is giving Jason a Beanie Baby
Jason will be ready soon!!!
